If it rules out a problem at our site then it is indeed helpful ;-)

that's an interesting point. how many clients do you have connecting
to that cfd server? We have about 10 that connect to that server (it's
not the primary cfengine server) and it lasts a week or 10 days. They
connect only every 4 hours.

Agreed. 

I wonder if you could do a backtrace on your process when it gets
stuck and see if it's getting stuck at the same place? That would
be interesting to compare.

The author had suggested to me that it might perhaps be a threading
issue on FreeBSD, but since you are running Tru64 that would now seem
not to be the case.

Thanks for your input Graham! :)
