[Spread-users] Send_new_packets: created packet 203 already exist 2

[Matt Garman]

Hi,

I asked about this back in May, 2008 [1], but never really came to any
resolution.

As a refresher, we're getting regular spread daemon crashes (it went
away for a while, but has recently become a very regular occurrence,
as in several times/day).  We're using spread version 4.00.00,
self-compiled on CentOS 5.6.

The log leading up to the crash looks like this:

Any thoughts?
