I haven't applied the patches yet, but I would be very interested in
knowing what it is about MacOS or netatalk that causes this problem. I
notice that (when viewed from my mac) there seems to be an update of some
kind, the number of items listed in the title bar increases by one and
very quickly decreases back, the icons in the window do there little
dancing thing, and then it pauses. Is this simply a screen refresh or
network update, or another crazy AppleTalk anomaly? I haven't looked at
the source code for any of this yet, and I probably don't know enough at
this point to be much help in that way anyway.
I'd be interested in knowing more about this.
