Thanks for the heads-up ... Gee, what a pain, but it sounds like at least Bacula did its job :-) By the way, I have posted a patch to 2.2.5, which is on the Source Forge site, and also in the patches directory of Branch-2.2. It isn't a critical patch, but if you get a chance, it would be nice to include it. Best of luck on getting everything working again.
