Hi!

I am not quite sure if this is the place to post, so have me excused if
I am in error.
I've just upgraded my gkrellmd (daemon-only) to 2.1.16 (from 2.1.15),
but when attempting to restart the daemon I get
  gkrellmd select() failed: Invalid argument

I though 'darn, i have to go back to the old version', and tried to
reinstall the backup package created by portupgrade. This went well, but
I *STILL* get the same error when trying to start gkrellmd.

I would very much like to avoid rebooting that server at this point, so
if anyone has any idea what might be wrong I'd be most grateful.

It was obviously working fine up until the upgrade 15 minutes ago - the
reason I upgraded was to see if the gkrellm-client I run on my laptop
would talk to it a bit more cleanly - I was getting weird 'bursts' of
information that confused the client. When I upgraded the local gkrellm,
it solved this problem, so I thought I'd do the same on the server.
I'm running 5-CURRENT locally. Server (where the problem is) is on
4.8-STABLE, as of 40 days ago.


Best regards,
/Eirik
