The message was issued by the OS in the server when stack space underflowed. It is not a bug in the sense of a software error, rather it seems to occur at a few sites, on some of their segments. The traffic mix or volume is related to this symptom. For that reason we have lent you a Sniffer and are interested in characterizing your traffic. Problems of this type, particularly when they cause a widespread interruption of service to users, are of urgent concern to us, and will be addressed immediately. You have already been contacted by engineering to set up a connection to a server. Your cooperation in gathering data and communicating the results, configurations and analyses is appreciated and will help us to resolve your problem. -- -------------------- salzman@hls.com ---------------------- Michael M.
