Bob,

You led us down a buggy path on that one. This, I’m pretty sure, is
related
to Richard B.'s problem for a few weeks ago where adding a time sink
caused problems in his data stream. I have to say, I kind of dismissed
that
as impossible, but nope, it’s a real problem.

The problem isn’t with the GUI sinks; you can replace them with null
sinks
and you get the same problem. It’s a race condition in our tag pruning
method that was changed in 3.7.6. We have a patch that we’re putting in
now
that will be part of 3.7.8.

The patch goes backwards a bit to how tag pruning was originally done.
However, with the map, we no longer have to restart the iterator at
begin()
like we used to, and we can terminate early, so this should still be
much
faster than the original.
