Ah, me again :)
Just looked onto my server... The change i made is:
mopd/loop.c
in function Loop()
There is a block /* FIXME...
...
if(bufsize > 1024)
bufsize = 64;
but bufsize will never be initialized as i looked the sources. Just
write
bufsize=64;
before this block and it should do the work (does so at my redhat... i
think some 100s of boots now without problems.)
