Hi Martin,

So, all the lock ups I've been having were probably based on this very
issue. :( And maybe it only applies to the Win/32 version, since you run
the Linux version?

BTW, the Z2PNT diffs *are* working, and .024 automatically recompiled to
...031 just fine.

When I first installed and operated oxp (with a nodelist *and* z2pnt
list installed), I still wasn't signed up to the diff updates.

I probably registered for the pointlist updates first, and witnessed
smooth operations for weeks. But, as soon as I started receiving a new
NODELIST diff, the lockups started.

Could this also be partially related to the nodelist (parsing/search)
issue I discovered a few days ago?

I couldn't figure out how to *just* trigger a diff update if the file is
sitting in the /FILES directory.  I am sure I tried "recompile" or
something, but the .024 number in the config panel stayed the same.

Instead, I deleted the whole entry, and just pointed oxp to the .031
edition.  I'm good until this Friday.  :/
