Ok, I think I know what happened, kind of.. One of my users' databases was currupt. I actually had to delete the entire base/<dbname> folder. Then I went in and drop/created the DB again and it seems to work fine. Is there any was to know how this happened? I have a .tar of the currupt DB if someone is interested... I would hope that 7.1 fixes this issue, any thoughts? Thanks, Jeff Davis Jeff Davis wrote: > I think this is a bug, but I don't have really enough info to go on > for a report.
