Thanks, I'll bear it in mind for the future, but in this case the message queues are growing without bound, so sooner or later the machine's bound to run out of memory. But since the message queues keep growing we know the long-term success rate will be close to zero - the only requests that succeed will be those that succeed locally, and in the long term those will only be for locally-inserted keys since nothing else will reach the node. Cheers, Michael
