From the time info you can see, that a timeout (default==30sec) caused Noffle to think that the connection broke down. But because Noffle continues to send command and the answer from the server was still on its way, Noffle receives and interprets answers to wrong commands. This is an urgent bug and I will fix it in the release-1-0 line soon. BTW the config option should better be named "timeout" instead of "connect_timeout", because it is also used for receiving answers. Alberto, you can increase "connect-timeout" in "noffle.conf" meanwhile, this should avoid this bug. See you - Markus |
