On a quick glance, I can agree with this. And you're right, it should remove cases of dread ref eating syndrome of all kinds, but especially those related to not-quite-permanent perm nodes, and overload conditions. I like it, and I'd like to see it tried. Do you intend to test it with the unstable nodes on the current network, or are there more evil plans in store? - --hobbs -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE99SeP6xdpaulLLFURAn0KAJ9exh65y5jKxIwTpCxPWW3DrrwpmACgho8t /e/x65STtHq0Xt+HgsVkwLM= =AC9k -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ devl mailing list devl at freenetproject.org http://hawk.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devl
