One thread is calling a blocking read and then another is trying to write to that same file. And so your second email explains my problem. I could split up the reads and writes to separate files and it sounds like that would take care of my problem. > * When the whole thing gets stuck, does it get unstuck when the > blocking request unblocks? I can only unblock the read by doing a write on the same file... :-) Thanks!
