> IgorThanks Igor! That is what I needed. I am attaching the strace output from the command above. I am also able to get all the same output from gdb that Antoine posted before. If you'd like me to get that for a debug version I can do that. P.S. I probably shouldn't mention this, but I had the strangest thing happen to me yesterday. One of the machines that was having this problem, my laptop, stopped having it all of a sudden. This machine is dual boot and when I booted to XP to get this trace I found that it would no longer hang, even when running Antoine's loop. This trace is from my client's machine which is still having the problem. I'm pretty sure that I didn't do any kind of updates that would make this change happen. -- Michael "Murph" Robbert
