Sorry if my words mislead you. I mean identical in frames, but not  
necissarily in values. The delay does vary, and as I mentioned above,  
if I change bf_sleep to always use 10 microseconds (so that the delay  
is short and the 60 tries will finish before the heat death of the  
universe :-) the first process fails, but the second stays stuck.

Here is the output should it help (I'm not convinced yet it does.)

[pid 22516] rand_sleep( 1000, 1000000,   771978 )

and so on for rand_sleep

For this run there was only one "retrying registration". In some runs  
we don't get that message at all, in others 2 or 3 times.

Thanks,
