- This could be a result of a timeout. Please do this:
-
- mkdir \tmp
- executor -debug fast -logerr
-
- This will create a file \tmp\err.out which I'd like you to then e-mail
- to bugs@ardi.com. Remind me what processor and what speed it's
- running at when you send me the e-mail.

- I'll worry about #2 and #3 after I know more about #1. Again, now
- that we have a device in house I think we'll get it working fairly
- soon, although I was up all night looking into the problem (we got our
- drive around 4pm) and haven't solved it yet -- maybe Mat will have
- better ideas when he comes in later today.

-
- We're not sure what happened there. It sounds like a bad thing to me.
- We'll look into it.
