Folks:
InterMapper versions 4.6.4 through 5.0.2 have a bug that can affect customers
running on a Linux system. The symptoms are that on 24 July 2008, InterMapper
could become unresponsive or crash and not restart. This bug affects only certain
Linux systems, and will not affect Windows or Macintosh installations.
The problem has to do with an error in computing the internal timer used to schedule
operations. This problem could occur within a 12-hour window preceding 9:51am
*local time* on 24 July 2008. At that time, the InterMapper server would lock
up or crash. It could be safely restarted after 9:51am local time. If uncorrected,
this bug would recur in 2.25 years.
The short-term workaround is to restart the InterMapper process after 9:51am local
time on 24 July. Because the bug only affects an InterMapper installation that
is running at that specific time, you will be able to continue operation afterwards.
To restart the InterMapper server, use this command:
/etc/init.d/intermapperd start
We have prepared a new beta version - InterMapper 5.0.3b3 - that addresses this
bug. It is available from this URL. A final version will follow early next week.

We apologize for the inconvenience that this error has caused.
