I agree this abates the symptom. I don't prefer this approach, but at the same time, this will help people with their problem that should not be happening. We were suspicious this had to do with clock time adjustments, but we are still theorizing. This will keep their system from locking up though for a condition we can safely handle in this part of the system with sanity checking. Otherwise intervention is required when this problem arises. Also to be blunt, the current approach while fast is lacking in fault tolerance. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
