foundry intermittently missing config fragments
Greetings,

Anyone else having problems with Foundry intermittently missing fragments
of the config?

As in, one run will show a diff with a hunk of lines removed w.r.t the
previous run and typically the following run will show the hunk being
replaced.

This has so far only been observed with one build of Foundry s/w: rev
07.5.02aT53 (labelled "B2P07502a" and compiled on "Mar 01 2002").

Other observations:

* timing appears random
* the missing hunk is exactly a contiguous set of whole lines
* not always the same hunk missing, but "familiar patterns" recur
* rancid 2.1

Yeah, I know this smells horribly like a foundry bug - but if that's the
case I need to "prove" it {:-(

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Neale.

Cancel this, my friend tcpdump says it *is* a Foundry bug (i.e. rancid is
telling the truth ;-).
