This would seem to be quite a serious bug, although it could be e.g. NFS which is known not always to respect time ordering. I've added the patch but it deserves watching. I've also committed the array patches. There's no point releasing a bug-fix version until we know what's going on with Irix, and I have no ideas whatsoever at the moment. We might as well try these out in the meanwhile. Wayne, if you want to be added to the developers' list at sourceforge, let me know a user name. -- Peter Stephenson Cambridge Silicon Radio, Unit 300, Science Park, Milton Road, Cambridge, CB4 0XL, UK Tel: +44 (0)1223 392070
