FW: [Spread-users] spread exception

[John Schultz]

Just wanted to let the spread list know that we at D-Fusion have also 
run into this problem, and that the client failure gives no information 
about what went wrong.

I don't believe that it is our spread queue is getting overfull -- we 
take a lot of precautions to ensure this doesn't happen (recompiled 
spread to hold up to 10000 msgs per client, have a high priority thread 
always receiving, there aren't that many msgs being produced, etc.).

unfortunately, the problem was rare enough and our app was robust enough 
to handle such failures that we never dug into it to really figure out 
what was going wrong. I wouldn't be surprised if it was just a minor 
problem with the Spread Java client implementation.
