I was peripherally involved in the introduction of yarrow in the sense
that I wrote most of the rc and periodic stuff for it so I am also
interested in this issue. Rather than speculating about whether it's
overflowing the buffer perhaps a patch can be produced to test this
hypothesis? I can't do it today, but if no one else gets around to it
soon I will give it a look.
