> what happened with either of the recently-reported > fossil lockup problems, for instance?
As I now have two servers at home (old and new) I have been trying to provoke the old one into locking up so I can take a snap of its fossil. sadly the old server has been irriatingly reliable and the only lockup I have had so far was on the new machine (typical!). If anyone has any thoughts/hints/guesses on how to provoke the fossil lockup I would be very interested to hear. I have tried mirroring sources which used to be a rich source of lockups but it seems to work now. I am going to try sending this machine fake emails I have a feeling that that can annoy fossil, and also speed up the rate of taking temporary snaps which others have reported as being a source of problems. -Steve
