Thanks particle. Great node. It looks like you were going over the same nodes I was. Finishing that node really helps a lot. I think I can make a few changes and have it much more legible about what the hell is going on. I'm a bit worried about the resource error (maxed filehandles?). I guess should set a trap for that one right off the bat. How long did you sleep before the retry?

    sleep(1); ought to do it. it's quite sporatic (~1 per 1000 calls) and frustrating.

    the production server is a 180MHz pentiumpro w/256MB RAM, running NT 4 SP6, but it has ultra-fast-wide scsi, and a fat network pipe. i did not see this problem on my (then) desktop, a dual pIII 450. your mileage may vary.

    good luck!
