INN 2.5, inn-CURRENT-20090103 Issues

[William Kronert]

Hi Julien,

Great news so far.  After applying the first 
patch yesterday and using the make update method 
you suggested I haven't seen anymore of these "assertion" errors at all.

It has been 22 hours running with this new patch 
and no assertions errors or any other signs of 
problems.  For the past several years I get at 
least 4 of these assertions errors per day 
(everyday) and as many as 40 of them so I think 
this is a really good sign that the patch is working.

The patch I am using that you sent is below, just so we know which one it is.

Index: host.c

         {
           host->artsToTape++ ;
           host->gArtsToTape++ ;

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The only other thing odd in the inn 2.5 current 
version as I mentioned before is the innreport message:
  - Use of uninitialized value in string eq at (eval 139) line 3
With the exception of that, I haven't notice any 
other problems.  What should I do about this 
innreport message, any suggestions?

I am very encouraged by the host.c patch, sure is 
a nice thing to see innfeed running without all these assertion problems.

Thanks so much for all the help and the patch, a real blessing.

Bill
