Hello. I have been using udpcast (version 2006-09-15) successfully until last week when I decided to upgrade. I first tried 2007-06-02, but that didn't work. So I tried 2007-03-26 and that failed in the same way.
When I use either of these newer images I see this message on the receiver:
... sending go signal lzop: <stdin>: block size too small -- recompile lzop bytes= 848 848 (43.00 Mbps)
and then the transfer stops. The program doesn't end, but the sender just continues to timeout.
Any help would be appreciated. It must have happened between Sept, 2006 and March, 2007. I am using the prebuilt images from the CD- ROM, booted via PXE, as my receiver. My sender is Mac OS 10.4 PowerPC and I tried the Sept '06 and most recent versions of the program. I tried lzop 1.0 and lzop 1.02rc2, both of which work with the older receiver.
Thanks, Devin Bayer

There was a bad define in lzop, which made it fail on certain inputs. The bug has been there for ages, but as it only occurs on certain inputs (and never with archives generated with udpcast's busybox itself), it went unnoticed for so long.
This is fixed now (version 20070622)
(However, due to the nature of the problem, the new version *may* now produce archives which are unusable by the old version)

Alain
