[Dxspider-support] Hang hang and some more hang...

[Kelly Jones]

This is starting to irritate me....

It seems that once I get above 40 or so users something stops working.  The 
scenario is that I connect to the node, it asks for my call, I type it in, 
hit enter... nothing.  It just sits there for the 60 seconds then 
disconnects me.

If I am a user that is already connected, the system is as snappy as can 
be.  It only happens to new, incoming connections.  At this moment I have 
41 users and 19 nodes.  If I try to connect either as a node or user, I get 
the above scenario.

This started happening a couple of weeks ago while still running an older 
version of Spider on Linux.  I was hoping that it would go away after I 
switched to Windows with the latest and greatest of Spider and Activesate 
Perl, but apparently not.  Has anybody seen this before or have a 
suggestion as to where to look for the problem?  Something that is 
interesting is that when it happens, I no longer get an echo back from the 
system.  When it's working, the echo returns every keystroke.  The only way 
I have found to "fix" it is to recycle the cluster and wait for it to 
happens again...
