It turns out that the problem was bad data throwing a RuntimeException in the thread, bringing it to a stop. I probably should have programmed it with bad data in mind but I didn't. We had an agreement on format and that was supposed to be that. I had some simple format checks but no protection for the Exception. I haven't seen the actual bad record yet but I put in traps for it and will have the offender soon. Thanks again everybody. -- Knute Johnson
