Paul,
it looks like you are using 5.3z version. There were many changes between 5.3 and 5.4 version and I'm pretty sure, that one of patches fix this bug too.

Can you please try to reproduce problem on real 5.4 (cman 2.0.115) or you really want patch for Z-stream?

Comment 2 PaulB 2009-09-29 14:39:26 UTC

Hello Jan,
I was running cman0.1.9.2-8.el5 and tried cman2.0.113-1.el5 prior to opening this bz. This issue was still existing using cman2.0.113-1.el5.

However, upgrading to the recently available cman2.0.115-1.el5, as suggested, has resolved the issue.

This issue is resolved.

Thanks, Jan.

Reporter says, that current release is working, so I'm closing the bug as CURRENT RELEASE.
