[Monotone-devel] Freeze on Windows using ssh transport

[William Uther]

Hi all,

  Having started everyone here using monotone, we're now getting  
freezes on windows using the ssh transport.

Setup:

  A central Unix box has a db.  Everyone has a login.  Everyone is  
using ssh to sync.  Everyone (but me) is using 0.32 binaries from the  
website (incl. the unix box).  (I'm using a more recent revision.)

Problem:

  The people using windows (and only them) are having intermittent  
sync issues.  When they sync, mtn counts everything, then exchanges  
about 2k each direction, then freezes.  The weird part is that this  
is intermittent.  It seems to work for an initial sync, and if it  
just worked then it will work again.  If it is failing for a user it  
will continue to fail for them.  If they have no local changes to  
send, then they can just blow away their local db, make a new one, re- 
sync, and it will work... until they try to sync 30 minutes later and  
it fails.

  We've switched to a netsync server on one of the windows boxes and  
that seems to work fine.

Is this is a known issue?
