Any fixes/workarounds? pre2.1.4 the only fix? And if so, which >version 2.1.4-37b, 2.1.4-38b_test, 2.1.4-39_test? Don't know about the connection being dropped, but the creation of a garbage file once a connection dies is the known bug you referred to. No workarounds short of fixing the code, which -- practically speaking -- means upgrading to pre2.1.4. pre2.1.4 is stable; I've been running it on a production server for 8 months and I haven't had any problems. You'd probably want to go with 39_test unless you need codepage support, in which case you should use 37b; the _test means that asun has codepage support disabled while he reworks it. --Benjamin Gilbert
