Hi, Jean-Louis, thank you for all your work and efforts to update the Amanda
code and make it better.
I'm very reluctant to promise to try the snapshot, because of my inexperience.
I've never downloaded a snapshot from a CVS system and installed it on any of
my systems. I'm not sure how I would set it up so that I could easily and
quickly revert to the working system I have now. My Amanda systems are all
production systems, no prototyping or trial systems, which my whole
organization relies on for backups of our internet-facing servers.
If trying the snapshot is an easy and simple thing to do, with very little risk
to my existing system, I'd be happy to try it. If there are some web pages
describing how to try CVS snapshots out, please let me know a URL and I'll read
through them and see if I can do it.
Thank you, again, for all your work.
-Kevin

Hi Kevin,
The latest amanda snapshot should have a fix for this, could you try it?
