Title: RE: [Sisuite-users] Anyone know why si_getimage would fail on Fedora Core 4 x64?

Hi Ben:

I just re-read your email, you did mention that it hangs even if the filesize is 0 bytes.

Anyways, the only time I have encountered similar issue is when there are some network/firewall problems (eg. pfilter on OSCAR) - perhaps you can check that out?

Cheers,

Bernard

Bernard,

I wasn't totally clear in my initial message - the problem occurs for me
even after zero-ing the lastlog file.  And if I straight-out delete the
lastlog file, it hangs on the next file, whatever that may be.
