Subject: Strange socket problems

Howdy,

I am reposting this message hoping someone will toss me a bone....
------------------------------------------------------------------

I am new to this list, but I have read the FAQ & searched the WU-FTPD 
mailling archive & I didn't see anything that looked relevant. That said...

I saw some strange errors in my systems message log which seem to 
indicate that the FTPd is having some sort of socket problem. It dumped 
core once. And then later it was having some kind of socket problem. 
This only happened for a short period of time, on one day, & I have never 
seen these messages before

Can anyone illuminate what these messages mean? Please take a look at the 
following excerpt.

Thanks for your time.

jim
