Hi guys

Doesn't look like a driver problem to me (but then again I'm not a
developer I guess)

I have found a really simple work-around for the immediate shutdown
though:

in src/server/vls.cpp I inserted one line (316) into the code:

    if (!iRc)
      iRc = cApplication.Run();
    sleep(1000);
    // Safe stop executed by the main thread
    iRc |= cApplication.SafeStop();

this will make the server work just fine... for exactly 1000 seconds.
Using while(1) sleep(1000); works even better obviously :-)
anyway seems like a bug in cApplication.Run() to me.
