If there is is a thread with a "wait(closing)" status, you are probably running into a networking problem. If the same theads are in a running state on all of the onstats, then you are probably running into a hung thread problem. In both of these cases, you need to open a case with tech support and provide the onstats. Also, you really need to consider upgrading to a more recent version. There have been a lot of stability patches since the 7.12 days. Madison Pruet
