and well written pool software

Heh well that's a bit of a sore point cos Kano keeps expecting me to find something and fix it, but any possible cause for the recurring issue that might be in the software that I postulate doesn't seem to change the behaviour so I keep blaming hardware... but I keep looking anyway. Chasing ghosts indeed.
HEY..... NO WORRIES
I'm very impressed with CKPool and CKSolopool. You will find the bug or hardware problem. Sometimes walk away, take a break, refresh your brain and POP the answer appears.
We just need a couple of blocks to take the edge off.
again..... Thanks for all your time and work.
