[Box Backup] (solved) More serious Win32 0.9f/RedHat 0.9 trouble...

[Nick Knight]

I am just writing my own timer implementation so will test under that. I
assume something in the ssl lib is timing out when there is no activity?

I think you are right, the other issue I have found, on the same store
which was created by the windows bbackupd when access by a linux client
seems to be able to retrieve the file - although the date is a bit odd -
1965-07-20T06:33:58

Nick,

Yes, it will continue diffing until the whole file has been processed
(with the time limit "disregarded"). After the diff, it will attempt to
upload the changes - and that's when the SSL error/"network issue"
between a client and a server comes in.

It's supposed to switch off a boolean "keep diffing" flag (see signal()
handler in the same source file). Once switched off, the diff should
stop, and changes uploaded.

P.S.

We might be running here into a combination of problems, but so far I
am seeing improvements with the patch I mentioned (Cygwin).
