Then I don't think we see the same problem. We have been using 2.0.9 on ~100 machines for a couple of years now without these problems. We upgraded 3 of them to 2.1.1, and they all instantly got this problem. We downgraded them to 2.0.9, and all problems gone. Then started switching between 2.0.9 and 2.1_rcX to determine when this problem started, but all 2.1_rcX seems to suffer from it, but 2.0.9 does _not_! So something must have changed between 2.0.9 and 2.1 that at least makes this a lot worse. /Johan
