Update: this was perhaps a result of a mistake I made it creating the clone. I failed to notice that the clone volume had OS X's "Ignore ownership on this volume" attribute set meaning I ended up as the owner of every file on it. I re-cloned last night and went through the entire process again and once finished, have rebooted twice without encountering this "stray process" message. -- Larry Stone [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
