Hi Joel, I tried to reproduce it on two 6.1-STABLE systems but with no result, file upload works just fine. I have a bad feeling that it's very hard to reproduce. On the other hand, did the problem started to occur at a specified date? Can you link the problem with a world / ports update? However: > I'd appreciate any tips for diagnosis/recovery.

Try SCHED_4BSD instead, Ff is very picky when it comes to threads. -- Adi Pircalabu (PGP Key ID 0x04329F5E) -- This message was scanned for spam and viruses by BitDefender.
