<P><FONT SIZE=2>I am still having all kinds of problems getting my clkuster to run reliably, mostly since switching to running on a SuSE 10.2 distro. I have had problems with my local telnet sessions hanging, but now have an even bigger problem where the cluster itself seems to hang. I recently (within the last week) loaded a new build of DXSpider (it shows as V1.54 build 0.172).<BR>
<BR>
Here is an excerpt from the log showing the last entries prior to the hang. I had logged on, composed a message to a friend, logged out and then later back on, and then left myself connected. I had been expanding the usdbraw file to add state info, but had not yet run the load/usdb command. When I came back to the system, the terminal that I had run the client program in was not returning any prompts. top showed the cluster.pl using a consistent 95% or more of the cpu. killing the client and re-running did not connect to the cluster. I had to manually kill the cluster.pl instance.<BR>

A few questions:<BR>
<BR>
What is the way to interpret the leading number (I am assuming it is a time stamp of some kind?) on each line of the log. Is it possible to determine from the log the amount of time between entries?<BR>
<BR>
What is the last entry telling me? is this some sort of a chat request to my node?<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
If there is anyone out there with DXSpider experience on SuSE (preferably with a relatively new version) maybe they can help me. I had this running on a Debian distro on an older box with less problems. I guess I could scrap SuSE and try going back to a Debian (or some other Linux) install, but I have other unrelated reasons for wanting to keep this system running SuSE.<BR>
