Alexander, you may be right from your point of view that LAME 3.90 doesn't have a bug and that it only may trigger a bug. But: I don't think that I said that LAME has a bug and even more importantly, this playing with words is not very helpful for a "normal" user. Therefor let's recall the plain facts:
a) When I use LAME 3.90 my internet connection gets cut frequently (in the meantime i've tried out what you proposed in your first letter, as you then considered that EAC + LAME might cause the trouble. I used Razorlame and other front ends and tried to run LAME 3.90 from the command line. No change, connection always gets cut. I think at least we can stop the "front end discussion" by that) b) I have frequently used LAME 3.89 since I wrote my first mail and the results are very satisfying. I never got cut when using it, regardless of the front end I used. c) No other encoder ever "triggered the same bug" which you assume is somewhere in my OS. d) My CPU is not overclocked. And just to answer your question from your other mail: My network card is a "3Com EtherLink XL 10/100" Again (and I will now use your own words): It sems to be a fact, that LAME 3.90 triggers a bug in my system (including the OS), which LAME 3.89 and all previous versions don't trigger and which no other encoder I know ever triggered. So there must be a "material change" from version 3.89 to version 3.90, which might be capable of triggering bugs in some users' systems. And if you agree with that, I believe it would not be a minor reason for considering what has been changed and how to avoid that in future versions. Can we agree about this?
