Hi Nick: I'm only repeating what I'm told - I don't have factual information on my own.
There have been several reports on this list that describes the following problem with dual-processor systems: Declude is supposed to check the /proc folder and ONLY go to sleep (for 30 seconds), if the folder contains no messages. On systems that have that problem, Declude goes to sleep even though there ARE messages to process. The result is, that messages are queuing up and never get processed. There is a parameter to set the sleep time low (e.g. 1 second), this way, the effect of the problem is less - but now Declude does't go to sleep when it actually could - with a possible impact on resource consumption. (Of course, the question is why this appears to be related to dual-processor systems. May be one process still has an access lock against the first file in the "proc" folder and another process doesn't handle that error condition right - who knows.)

I haven't been following exactly so I do not know what I should be looking for :) I have 3.0.4.4 running on my quad processor [with hyper threading] box without ant problems - at least as far as I can tell. If I'm I missing something I will revert back to 2.0.6.16 in a heartbeat! -Nick > > --- This E-mail came from the Declude.Virus mailing list.
