NPE and server not starting was not a problem in earlier code. > It was resolved, as it always is, in a matter of hours > of being reported. Not days. Or months. Agreed, but you broke it, I reported it and you fixed it. I could have fixed it too. > Perhaps this is the core of the issue.

Sceduler implementation has already been verified. You made a number of fixes too in watchdog. > A regression indeed. And fixed. In an hour. Not nine months. After I posted the exact snippet that exhibitted the problem. Would have been nicer if you would have once tested it yourself or discovered the snippet rather than adding code and breaking the server. As the NNTP code stood today morning at least, it was much worse than anytime in last 9 months. Auth was broken for 9 months but in the last few days everything was broken. I am trying to test and fix. Harmeet -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:james-dev-unsubscribe@;jakarta.apache.org> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:james-dev-help@;jakarta.apache.org>
