Hello Bazsi, thanks a lot for the stats() feature in the new version. But unfortunately 1.5.10 crashes a few minutes after starting. We are running your software on SUN Solaris 8 boxes. I read about a similiar problem with Linux boxes some weeks ago in this list. For your convenience the backtrace is attached. The calling deps between #17 and #1 can differ in each core. But it crashed _always_ in __sigprocmask () from /usr/lib/libthread.so.1 And it crashed _always_ by receiving SIGKILL. Seems a little bit mystic for me, because I don't know why and who's sending the SIGKILL. Coredumps by SIGSEGV are more familiar to me :) Thx. for a fast fix --Andreas
