tinc dies after some days/weekes of normal activity

[Flynn Marquardt]

Hello,

I successfully use tinc for one year in a configuration with several
subnets (about 5-7 subnets) and one main server. Sometimes tinc dies
with the error message:

	Error while waiting for input: Bad file descriptor

If it happens, this happens immediately, when one subnet has
disconnected. tinc (on the main server) tries then to disconnect all
currently connected subnets and while disconnecting the last active
subnet the above error message appears.

It seems, that subnets that connect and disconnect often (dial-in
subnets), can force this problem faster, but not I cannot reproduce it
with a known sequence of commands or connections.

After restarting tinc on the main server all subnets reconnects after
some time and all is fine.

I use the tinc version of debian woody (this means 1.0-pre4 with some
changes of the cvs-version).

What can be done to resolve this problem?
