Client disconnects, XPAT search doesn't stop ....

[Christiaan den Besten]

Ok, so the big question is, is this fixable ? I see something called "BIG_BUFFER", so probably it does do a PushIOb once every while 
.... these unnessesary session are generating an enormous load on the already pretty loaded machines ;(

Somehow ovdb is not really to cool with xpat's :(

bye,
Chris
