What happens if you first move away your .listen directory? It's entirely possible that yours became corrupt for some reason and mine didn't. > Or perhaps there is something about our NFS server setup.

I don't think anybody uses the NFS user server anymore; it hasn't been developed for years either. > Any tests I can try?

In general, I'd try to isolate if this is a feature of your NFS setup in general, or your specific .listen directory (probably media.db). What happens if you copy the .listen directory to somewhere on non-NFS, set $HOME to that place and the run listen? Also, does this happen _every_ time or can you run listen a few times before the database goes bonkers? You don't access the database from multiple hosts at the same time, do you? /* Steinar */ -- Homepage: http://www.sesse.net/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
