Description Steve Conklin 2006-12-14 18:17:44 UTC 
using the multi-threaded option for sosreport sometimes generates errors
Comment 1 Navid Sheikhol-Eslami 2007-03-14 13:54:32 UTC 
I just fixed in SVN (revision 93).

Problem was in doCollect(), copyStuff() thread was getting an unexpected
argument (verbosity) and thus causing the exception.

Comment 2 John Berninger 2007-03-14 14:08:48 UTC 
Well, it wasn't unexpected, it wa just unhandled.  At one point I'd been passing
verbosity further down the stack to handle increased verbosity levels for debug
output, I guess I just missed getting it into the copyStuff() routine.  Do we
want to leave copyStuff() silent, or do we want to move verbosity back in and
handle it?
Comment 3 Steve Conklin 2007-03-14 20:34:54 UTC 
I vote for passing it down the stack.
