Run GLI client, it would start up ok, but then when opening an existing collection or creating a new collection, sometimes it would hang. We had periods of time where it almost always failed, periods where it almost always worked, and some where it randomly did or didn't work. The client is sending requests to the server, and waiting for the response. It appears that the request is completed but the client doesn't realise so its still waiting for completion, and the program hangs cos it can't do anything else while its waiting. It hangs at different places - I have had some stop at get-script-options for buildcol.pl, get-script-options for pluginfo.pl on HTMLPlug and WordPlug. We had the same thing happen connecting to server on localhost, and connecting through a proxy to kanuka. I have had a couple of times where you get a collection open then try to create a new one and it hangs, so its not just the first time you run it. Is this just a problem with John's computer? We need to try on another XP Home machine and see if we can reproduce the problem." defect closed moderate GLI blocker worksforme
