# This one is OK
log_level = INFO

# This one isn't
log_level = WARNING

sounds certainly like one of those beloved race conditions.

Please explain.

well, race condition means two (or more) operations racing each other for a bit of code -- ie non-determinitsic outcome. so, using INFO means, far more operation cause output and every single of these outputs caused a small delay compared to WARNING. ie, it could mean an operation gets more time than intended and wins the race over the one intended to be first.

while writing it occurs to me it could simply be an issue of too short timeouts because of slow hardware (or too fast sowftware, for that matter). with INFO the hardware gets more time to do whatever necessary, increasing the chance to get ready just in time.

in the latter case an increased timeout will probably help a lot. since it didn't happen with older fso, the fso guys could probably shed some light on that, telling if somewhere a timespan was decreased.
