Re: Alarm firing immediately instead of waiting for timeout

Hi gator,

Are you sure that the alarm is the only way your eval block can die? Right now you are logging a "timeout expired" message regardless of what really happened. Try logging the value of $@ and see what you get.

Cheers,

Larry

Ugh. Thank you for noticing that I left $@ out. Sure enough, there was a typo that didn't cause a warning/error in compile but caused a weird crash.	[reply]
