Re: [Summary-Talk] processes exiting abnormally

[Dale L <dalela@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

OK, I upgraded to OSXS 10.3.7 last night, which also required a reboot.
I was able to finish the upgrade just before the log run at midnight.

My problem didn't rear it's head in last night's processing.  I will
turn on incremental mode today and see how it goes.

I hadn't heard about the bug with long-uptime stability with OSX,
although now that you mention it I have occasionally seen strange
behavior on machines that have been up for 2+ months without reboot.

Thanks for the quick help!
