After running 4.01c for about a hour the 'RPC unable to receive'
error appears. This results at the end in a disconnect from your
linkpartner, which isn't noticed by CLX. A show/conf still shows that
you are connected. This means that clx never will try to re-establish
the connection with the linkpartner, resulting in not receiving dx
spots anymore. Although this could be caused by a died process too.
As you can see I receive all @@@@@@@@@@ from pe0mar but not in all
spots.
Peter (VK3AVE) who also has the problem, and I have (one or more) userlinks.
Peter thought that the userlink could be the cause of this.
I have installed clx on two different machines, because I thought it
could be a problem with the machine. However it happens on both
machines.
Haven't checked if actually a clx process died btw.

CLX Messages.

Here is an example of my log:

Haven't noticed anything strange with 4.01a/b (related to RPC).
I went back to 4.00b now.
