Thanks for any hints, Angelo. Try reconfiguring with --enable-debug and recompiling, so that you might be able to debug the processes. Also try strace or similar on the hung processes. --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: Oracle 10g Get certified on the hottest thing ever to hit the market... Oracle 10g.
