Hi,
That does sound rather similar, yes, though the symptoms in the arch bug
sound a bit different.
If it's not using the child watch then the problem may well be gone.
Unfortunately I can't remember the specifics of a race condition from
over 4 years ago to say for sure whether it will be handled by the other
patch.
Thanks,
James
