Sorry I still don't have any clue what causes that, but it may help to note that I've seen the same problem when running circle on a linx 1.3 kernel. I'm not sure of the exact version, but it was in the 50's. At first we had that problem constantly, but after a couple months it sometimes updated circle fine, sometimes gave the warning message. I don't think it was anything we did so I assumed it was just a kernel bug. If you're using a developmental kernel I'd assume that's the cause. Sam
