[Dxspider-support] Cluster hangs

[Eric Carling]

Yes happening here - but only during periods of very high spot activity. It
happened during the ARRL CW contest and then not since until the ARRL SSB
contest this weekend when it has occurred twice so far. I'm on the same
build as you but I am running in Windows.

Hi Klaus,

 

Good to see I'm not alone. So this problems must not be specific to my node.

 

Anybody else seeing this? Or ideas how to fix it?

 

I should mention my node is running on Mandrake 10.1 w/Perl 5.8.5. Box is

P3 1ghz with 1g of RAM, so that should be plenty of horses.
