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.)

cu.. Michael
