I haven't heard of this, at least on recent builds. To be clear, though, you're saying that you have a number threads or processes each creating and deleting separate property groups, and sometimes one of them will disappear? I think the first step in debugging this would be to have the test suite grab a core of svc.configd as soon as such an error occurs. Actually it may be best to pstop svc.configd and then take a core and a copy of repository.db and maybe /etc/svc/volatile/svc_nonpersist.db . It may be easy to do the pstop with DTrace. David
