To clear the confusion, there were two different fixes: - FIX15M3 (no A), which fixed a DIST2 bug and was sent to everybody. - FIX15M3A, which circumvented a loop which could occur both with DIST1 and DIST2 (and had actually been taking place with DIST1), and happened only when a non-backbone site hosted a peered list with FILE=YES. This was sent only to a limited number of sites (those affected by the loop), because I was not sure what would be the official fix. Since we could not reach a consensus on what to do next, it will become an official fix for the time being. Eric PS: Do not, for your life's sake :-), send me private mail to PASTEUR unless it's a reply to something I just sent. I can't retrieve it from anywhere else.
