Re: Help w/ install and setup

I looked further into this.  I don't see that this should be related
to the configuration file, at least not in the most recent version of
the source code I have.  The assertion "ret == My.num_allocated" is in
the function that builds state messages, for the Wackamole state
exchange.  It's a basic sanity check -- the daemon packs one section
of the state message with each interface that is assigned to it,
according to the Old_table, the last consistent copy of the
Allocation_table.  My.num_allocated should always be the same as the
number of interfaces that match this daemon.  I don't see any bugs in
the way this variable is being changed, in my copy of the source code.
 Do you know if it's maybe being overwritten somehow?

Cheers,
Ryan
