I figured that was the root cause, but didn't know what would make
that happen. Good to know. By "client," do you mean the asadmin
client? There's my process calling the asadmin client which calls the
server, correct? Should I file an issue on it?
I'm not sure how to make a reproducible test case. It happens every
time for me now, but unless my domain has changed to cause this (I've
backed it up) then the steps to reproduce are ominous: write module to
fire up asadmin in a new process, fail, run asadmin. Am updating and
will rebuild server, then try it again with my domain to check.
Cheers,
