Hi:  We are having problems with the infinite loop that afflicts the
     win32 ver 3.1.0.5 client.  The problem, as you can see below, is
     related to incorrect passwords AND unregistered nodes.

     I recall a problem with the .3 client, was there a problem with
     failure to trim schedule logs?

     Can anyone suggest a ptf release that is reliable?  (And how to get
     it?  I do still have a copy of the 3.1.0.3 client install set.)

     Thanks.

     Eric,
     This doesn't just happen for incorrect password.  It happened on
     Friday on Bucky1 and Monday on Bucky2 when somebody tried to connect
     to the wrong server.  No node existed on the server they attempted to
     connect to.  The operators realized the problem rather quickly on
     bucky1 because they can see the errors on the console but on bucky2 it
     isn't so obvious.  I would rather we give them the .3 version, if the
     error isn't in that version, than propagate a version with a rather
     serious flaw that will catch us down the road.
     Jim

     Well, I could pull the page . . . or use ptf 3 . . . if you scream
     really loud I might hear you but gee, why can't our customers use the
     correct password?

     I will put a message out to the Bucky Relay to urge caution.

     This is the status of the nt client problem that has caused several
     problems recently on both bucky1 and bucky2.
     Hi James,
     IC22093 is targeted for PTF6.  It's hard to gauge the exact date the
     PTF will be released. I believe it is targeted for release before the
     end of the year.
     Thanks,
     John

     It can't be soon enough.  Eric, maybe we should put a hold on nt
     customers upgrading to version 3.
