There was a hilarious* bug in an early version of OmniPresence where clients a) eagerly resolved conflicts and b) did not back off if their attempt to resolve the conflict created another conflict. The result was that if you had two Macs running OmniPresence, and you managed to create a conflict, occasionally both machines would just start generating infinite duplicates of the conflicted document. --Kyle Sluder _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
