There is a new version of SessDBM.pm in the patches area:
http://www.open.com.au/radiator/downloads/patches-2.14.1/
If a different version of DBM doesn't fix the problem, would we be able to log
in to your system to have a look at the problem directly? Also, are there
multiple copies of Radiator all running against the same Session Database?
There is the potential for problems there, as there is no record locking in DBM
yet.
thanks for your patience and assistance
