Isn't there some more > graceful way to handle the "surprise removal"? Answering this from my home account because, well, work is Outlook. "Reconsidering" would be great. In fact, revert if if you'd like. I'm uncertain that the surprise removal code actually works the way I thought previously and I think I took a lot of it out of my local code. Unfortuantely I don't have any equipment that I can use to reproduce surprise removal any longer so that means I wouldn't be able to test anything. I have to defer to you or Cao Jin. -- Hisashi T Fujinaka - htodd@twofifty.com (todd.fujinaka@intel.com)
