[Spread-users] Re: SP_scat_multicast not sending the entire message

[Jonathan Stanton]

I've committed a fix for short-writes in libspread to the Spread 3.17 
branch of the cvs tree. It will be included in the next version. If you 
want to test it, make sure to check out the 3.17 branch which is called 
"branch_3_17" as the HEAD has many other changes we are working on. 

Cheers,

Jonathan
