Chris, I patched the EM so it should no longer give the assert you saw on control-C. Please sync to the current code when you have a chance and confirm the problem is gone. You can read an analysis of it in ConnectionDescriptor::Read, file ext/ed.cpp. Thanks and let me know how it goes. -francis -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
