Thanks for the reply, 

I patched the /interchange/lib/Vend/Util.pm and started up the service.. and 
still receive..
"- [14/April/2003:15:21:13 -0500] db 
/cgi-bin/db/scan/st=db/co=yes/sf=category/se=Informal 
Seating/sf=prod_group/se=Reception Area.html Runtime error: Could not lock 
file: Interrupted system call"

Do I need to patch it elsewhere? Where can I check out other work done 
regarding this issue?

Thanks, 
GeoffS
