Re: [Hamlib-developer] On toward 4.6

[George B. <geo...@gm...>]

I found one problem last weekend in the CQWW CW contest - CW sending is 
very unreliable (random failures, timeouts, duplicate messages, delays) 
and even lockups requiring restart of the logging program(tlf),  I've 
been looking at the code, and it looks to me like a thread safety 
problem.  Happens only when the app mixes CW sending with polling for 
freq/mode.

I've found ways to make it better, but not sure of a complete fix.
