If that's the case I *DESPARATELY* need a full level 10 debug from
startup to "logic error" from you. A "logic" error means precisely
that, as a bug in the code. With a full log from current CVS I could
find and fix it ! No one so far has been able to get me a reproducible
case or send me such a log. The cleanup code is masking the bug, not
a fix !

Depends where the slowdown is, startup or shutdown. As I can't reproduce
it I'm depending on you guys to tell me which to remove.
