There seems to be no apparent problems in our system and our customers all
get this error message at once every two weeks or so. We have been able to
fix this problem by rebooting our portmaster.

I will be upgrading our ComOS 3.3 to ComOS 3.3.2 and hope this fixes the
problem.

Can someone tell me what the big differences are between the two versions?

Thanks in advance,
-Dave Y.
