I don't wanna ruin your day (by reporting on 0-day old 8.14), but ... On a virtual SLES 10.3 system with 2 Xeons (E5420 @ 2.50GHz), the above test failed - but just once. I cannot reproduce the error. I tried ~30 times, once with low system load and once with a load of about 10. Fortunately, I saved the logfile before retrying. Ideas? Berny
