[Spread-users] Read_form2 error

[Ryan Caudy]

That was my initial suspicion, too.  However, I think in this case it
might be something else.  As far as I know, Proc IDs are simply the IP
address of the of the daemon.  The one listed there, 168427892 (hex
0xA0A0174) translates to 10.10.1.116.  David, if Jonathan's solution
above doesn't resolve your problem (and you should definitely make
sure that the Spread daemons are all started with an identical
configuration file), please check that the host names in the
configuration file all resolve the same on each machine.

Cheers,
Ryan
