Yes, thanks.  In addition to consuming an enormous amount of time, it almost 
killed me off.  When I have a serious bug like that I cannot sleep until it 
is resolved -- unfortunately, I didn't recognize it as a kernel problem soon 
enough -- of course, I recognized the kernel was crashing, but I thought that 
Bacula was doing something bizarre, which seems not to be the case.  What was 
misleading was that the last beta works fine, the current code fails.  I 
suspect it has to do with memory placement (bigger/smaller program, I/O that 
crosses a page boundry, paging ...????).

Yes, thanks for bringing up the bugs again, they would likely have gone 
without response.

Yes, anything involving multiple drives is so terribly complicated that I'm 
obligated to ask for a test case.  

The first thing to do is to pull down the "rescue" module from the Bacula CVS.  
If would be *much* better if you can check it out of the CVS since you will 
be able to easily get any changes I make.  If that doesn't work, let me know 
and I'll send you a tar file.

Once you get it, read the README.  It should be relatively self-explanatory.  
At that point, you should be able to run the regression scripts.  Most likely 
you will see how easy it is to write one, if not, let me know and I'll 
explain some more.

I'd recommend that you submit your multiple drive problem as a bug report, and 
attach a listing as a xxx.txt file with the SD set to debug level 50 (this 
should show us what the reservation system is doing).

First, see if the same thing happens with a restricted bconsole, then submit a 
bug report specifying how to create it from "scratch", or you might be able 
to pinpoint the place where it is being rejected by turning on debug level 
100 (or possibly higher) in the Director.  If you can isolate where the test 
is going wrong, it can be easily fixed.
