That's the theory :o) > Okay, done that. The output is at http://www.xs4all.nl/~benscho9/pan/ Ive set pan to get headers for a.b.image group or something. During the stals I fired strace for a few secs. First three files were started during a stall en stoped before it continued. The fourth was while running happily and during the fifth it was running wel and bumped into a stall. Btw, thanks guys for the help sofar. _______________________________________________ Pan-users mailing list Pan-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pan-users
