Hi,

I don't think so.  In the scenario where I saw this, I updated our
v.0901 xmlblaster by just overwriting the lib/xmlBlaster.jar file
with the latest cvs version.  After that, I restarted the server.
The server itself is configured to use only ram-based storage, so
it all should have been flushed out on a restart.  Unless the
server is keeping some hidden files around somewhere I don't know
about... :-)

The bug isn't really reproducible at the moment - it has happened only
twice so far in a full day of operation.

You are in luck however - I happened to do a server dump after it
happened and before I restarted it.  I'd rather send it off-list,
so if you can send me an address to send it to I'll gladly forward it.
I'll also include the log file too.

As for our situation, we have probably 10 clients, all pub-sub capable
and using xpath subscriptions.  They are all long-lived and never
shut down (unless unexpectedly).  All messages are volatile.
