   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.  :/
