These are different. The traces you sent in last time had trans2notifies,
this time it's a client going mad with asking for print queue status over
and over again. Not sure what triggered this, but I would be very surprised
if this was triggered with a .25b to .25c upgrade.

I don't think this is a race condition in the real computer science sense of
that word. I can't see anything unusual in those logs.

What kind of client is that? It's using the "old" LANMAN style printer
calls. Did you set "disable spoolss = yes"?

And, can you get us a debug level 10 log of the trans2findfirst/changenotify
loop?

Volker, Jeremy:

	I'll keep monitoring the 3.0.25c install here at work and try to get
a level 10 of the trans2findfirst/changenotify loop issue. I was out of the
office most of the day today (yesterday now). I'm sure I'll catch it in the
next day or so!

	I was pretty sure the 3111skyline problems wasn't the same, but I
didn't understand what it was doing so I though I would pass it along.
Thanks guys and I'll catch the right bug next time!
