Now I have stumbled over the same problem. On all machines I have
tried (well, they are all 64 bit Linux) I get

# xstat_cm_test localhost 2 -onceonly -debug

Yawn, main thread just woke up.  Cleaning things out...

This is against localhost. So this is not version mismatch but bug.

Any ideas? I have not started searching around like trying on other OSes yet.

Harald.

PS: Or is this still the same bug as 2006?
