I run strace on the running vls server and it reports this.......


select(10, [8 9], [], [], {1, 0})       = 0 (Timeout)
select(10, [8 9], [], [], {1, 0})       = 0 (Timeout)
select(10, [8 9], [], [], {1, 0})       = 0 (Timeout)
select(10, [8 9], [], [], {1, 0})       = 0 (Timeout)
select(10, [8 9], [], [], {1, 0})       = 0 (Timeout)
select(10, [8 9], [], [], {1, 0})       = 0 (Timeout)
select(10, [8 9], [], [], {1, 0})       = 0 (Timeout)
select(10, [8 9], [], [], {1, 0})       = 0 (Timeout)
select(10, [8 9], [], [], {1, 0})       = 0 (Timeout)

Seems it is stuck in the select() operation. I'll have to try and track
down which area of the code this is in. I notice that the debug option
is on by default at compile time, is there anyway to get more debug info
when vls is running ??

Thanks for any replies,
regards
Darryl
