Hi, That does sound rather similar, yes, though the symptoms in the arch bug sound a bit different. If it's not using the child watch then the problem may well be gone. Unfortunately I can't remember the specifics of a race condition from over 4 years ago to say for sure whether it will be handled by the other patch.
