It's even more hassle for others than myself...here is a forwarded message
from a friend.

John,

This issue is even more serious than I previously thought (at least for me)
because when writing server programs, I have to code and test, code and test
and I used to get an error when trying to place a new version over a running
one (because the PC side is already connected - very common), but now it
just
copies without an error then I get a core dump by the server in the
background
and everything crashes.  I thought the issue would only come up with
software
installs, but for me, it can be tons of times in a day.  Now I know why I
always seem to have a recent /core file with OS6...

Now I have to be super careful to stop everything before I copy over every
single recompiled version (which is every few minutes for me).  VERY
tedious.

Dave
