Samba infinite loop - need help

somehow I created an error that causes an infinite loop in Samba. In the log.nmbd file I have more than 1 GB of the following:
[2006/06/08 16:59:37, 0] /SourceCache/samba/samba-92.15/samba/source/nmbd/nmbd.c:main(668)
Netbios nameserver version 3.0.10 started.

bind failed on port 137 socket_addr = 0.0.0.0.
Error = Address already in use
If I turn on Windows file sharing while the Mac is running Samba works fine. But if I reboot with the Windows sharing left on the infinite loop starts at the end of the reboot process. The loop takes up about 50% of CPU but doesn't show up as a process.
Does anybody know what went wrong and how I can fix it?

I also recently installed XCode, not sure, how that would be the cause...
In any case, the nmbd daemon is started even when the system does not act as a name server. The problem goes away, when Windows File Sharing is turned off. But it returns, when it is turned off.
When it is turned off, a flag is set in /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/nmbd.plist - it is removed, when file sharing is turned on.
I turned off Windows Filesharing, and copied the nmbd.plist file. Then, I turned it back on. After that, I copied the old nmbd.plist file back into the LaunchDaemons directory. I used the terminal shell to do this (with sudo etc.)
Now I can reboot, and all is fine. However, if I cycle Windows Filesharing from the Preferences panel, the problem will return.
Removing the log file cleared 3GB (!) of disk space.
I wish there was a uniform way of how all the services and daeamons are handled, with the merge of multiple systems, under the hood things seem to be strewn all over the place....

Thread in infinite loop? (help appreciated)

Basically, i'm trying to make a basic traffic simulator, and learn java at the same time, so bare with me...
I want a couple of threads to run concurrently in the applet, but am having touble. Basically one starts inside the run() and works fine, but the other wont...infact nothing after the first thread will run (i.e. if the repaint() goes after the end of catch{}). The source is a bit of a mess with no comments, but its all really basic so should be easy for even the elementary java programmer to understand.
I know the second thread (well what i hope is a second thread) doesn't actually do anything other than output a line that could be done by the first thread, but its just proof of concept for now, i will put stuff in there later.
source, class and html are here:
http://www.soton.ac.uk/~tr403/traff/
also the slider in the bottom right doesn't appear in the browser unless you click on it, but in the applet viewer it comes up...why is this? its at the bottom of my priorities at the mo, but its puzzling, and obviously something really elementary.
Any help MUCH appreciated, its for my dissertation which has got be to handed in on may 11th ;)
This the run bit, initated from the start [method? not sure on terminology yet]
public void run()
              Thread carmove = Thread.currentThread();
               try {
               while (carmove != null){
               Thread.currentThread().sleep(carsptimeout);
               xcount++;
               repaint(0,144,300,5);
               if (xcount == maxlength1){
                    xcount = 0;
            catch (InterruptedException e){}
                 Thread sysline = Thread.currentThread();
               try {
                    while (sysline != null){
                    Thread.currentThread().sleep(carsptimeout);
                    System.out.println(xcount);
               catch (InterruptedException e){}
     }

oh wait whoops sorry this is in tottaly the wrong place...apologies, will repost in correct section.

Need help with infinite loop in recovery mode in Creative Zen 20

hi,
I'm having this problem with my Creative Zen 20 GB:
When I turned it on, it goes immediately to the rescue/recovery mode. Not sure why. Will do that even when I reset the device.
So, I selected cleanup. After cleanup, it remained showing the menu of the recovery mode. I selected reboot. After reboot, it went back to the rescue/recovery mode. And it goes on and on like an infinite loop.
Finally, I decided to do a formatAll. Again, it remained in the recovery mode menu after the formatAll action. After reboot, it again went back to the rescue/recovery mode.
I have never updated the firmware. So, I thought maybe that will help. However, when I connected the device to my PC, the device went to rescue/recovery mode and the PC could not detect the device connected via USB. In short, I am currently not able to do anything at all with the device except charging it.
Would appreciate help/advise.
Tks in advance.

What library are you loading? After you have run that reload os option, you need to connect the player to the computer and run the firmware update software. If you haven't download that, you can go to the download section and download it. If all else fail, the player is probably faulty and you would need to get in contact with Customer Support then.

Need help with an infinite loop please

Can somebody please help me out with displaying text that's been imported from another file onto a JTextArea? this is the code i've been trying to get to work, and it does, but it is stuck in an infinite loop and i can't see why. I've tried adding a counter before the while loop, and displaying and incrementing it inside the loop. The counter gets to 32 (the last line of the file) then goes back to 1 and starts again. Any help, or explanations would be awesome, thanks.
String line;
     while ((line=reader.readLine())!=null){
          System.out.println(num);
          append(line+" \n");
     }

think you will have to post some more of the code, is that within any sort of loop itself , has it its own method ? is it an event handler ? ..btw the append sould be fine .. is this a subclass of a TextArea ? where is this bit of code ?

Another Infinite Login Loop Problem - need help badly

Hello. I need help.
When I start up my iMac (24 inch last generation model) I can't log into the OS. When I enter my password I see the default OS wallpaper (nothing else) then it kicks me to a blue screen then right back to the login. Same thing over and over. I've already ran disk utility off of the install CD to repair permissions, etc... but no luck. This even happens when I enter into safe mode. I'm running the latest version of the OS.
Can anyone help me?

Restore the bootable backup/clone or Time Machine backup. Without one, you have a difficult situation. First thing to try is boot with your install disc, run Disk Utility, and repair the disk.

Iphone stuck in infinite loop, HELP!

my iphone after resetting all settings through settings>general>reset, is stuck in an infinite loop.
it turns on, shows the apple logo, then about a minute later the loading symbol appears, after 10mins it quickly flashs black and then starts the loop again, i have left it for over 12 hours, to see if it will fix itself, but it wont.
i cant get it into dfu or recovery mode, it wont even turn off until it runs out of battery and then repeats its loop. when i charge it it just starts the loop again!
please i really need help, if i cant resolve this problem, im not going to buy the ipad and the iphone 4g as i planned to do so.
please could anyone help!

If you can't get your iPhone into DFU or recovery mode, there is a major problem. You can make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby.
This is a user to user help forum only, so doubtful if any fellow users will lose any sleep over your threat not to purchase an iPad or the next generation iPhone when released if this problem cannot be resolved. If not, more than likely there is a hardware problem or failure. If a problem arises with your PC that you cannot resolve, are you not going to purchase another PC either?

Help on how to make an infinite loop with the same space on all images

HI:
I made a movie clip with infinite loop in which there are images that move from right to left something simple like a marquee, and each image has a blank space between them, but between last and first image there is a more space, how I can do to make all images have an equal space between each one and that the motion never stops.

Thanks for your time and answers my friend, but I'm still not be able to achieve what I want, I forgot to tell that I'm doing this by layers, let's say, I have 5 images, (in fact I have like 50 images converted to movie clip symbols) each image has it's own layer, layer 1, layer 2, layer 3, layer 4, layer 5, then I put a 200 frame motion tween on all layers at 30 fps, then I arranged layer 1 on the first frame to the frame 200, the second layer from frame 50 to frame 250, third layer from frame 100 to frame 300, fourth layer from frame 150 to frame 350, and fifth layer from frame 200 to frame 400, by this I mean I put a 50 frame of space on each image but if you can see, the last image has a duration from frame 200 to frame 400, and there's nothing on frame 250 where it is supposed to be another image to match the same blank space of all the others, the movie clip restarts on the frame 400, and there's a 150 frames of blank space between the last image and the first image, I put the gotoandplay on the frame 250, but it abruptly restarts the movie.
Is there another way to do this ?
Am I doing something wrong ?
Please I really really need help on this.
Thanks

The product that I purchased is not working!!!! I need help and I've been stuck in your "Contact us loop" for the last few days and I'm getting frustrated. How do I contact you for HELP!

The product that I purchased is not working!!!! I need help and I've been stuck in your "Contact us loop" for the last few days and I'm getting frustrated. How do I contact you for HELP!

Probably the best place to start is the right forum for your product. This is the forum for Distiller Server, a long dead product used by big companies, and probably not what you have. If you can't find the right forum, please let us know the FULL name of what you paid for (please check your invoice, as Adobe have many similar products), and we can perhaps direct you. Good luck!

Help me pls! - Infinite loop!!

Dear Guys,
I am totally lost in my codes, pls help, TQ:

     public opReadLine() {} //class constructor
     public static void main(String args[]) {
          FileReader inFile;

               inData.close();
          catch (IOException ie) {
          ie.printStackTrace();
Content of "test.cfg":
END
note: there is no blank line above "END"!!
Rgds,
Daniel

Sorry I forgot to state the problem I am facing and the code I actually wanted.
I want my code to read from a file line by line until it meets the word "END".
However, I found there is a big syntax problem in:
do {
} while (temp != "END");
The result for the code above is infinite loop of System.out.println("The UID is: " + temp);
However,
when I changed the code to:
do {
} while (temp == "END");
it will execute "System.out.println(The UID is: " + temp) once and stops.
In other words, the code recognizes END, but why when I try to compare with !=, it gives me problem??
Pls help! TQ

public class Lab5
public static void main(String[] args)
int num1 = (int) (Math.random() * 100 + 1);
int num2 = (int) (Math.random() * 100 + 1);
int sum = num1 + num2;
int product = num1 * num2;
int quotient = num1 / num2;
int difference = num1 - num2;
for (int i = 0; i > 11; i++);
int number = (int)(Math.random()*4);
if (number == 0 )
String s1 = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, num1 + " + " + num2 + "=" );
if(number == 1)
String s3 = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, num1 + " - " + num2 + "=" );
if(number == 2)
String s3 = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, num1 + " x " + num2 + "=" );
if(number == 3)
String s4 = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, num1 + " ÷ " + num2 + "=" );

for (int i = 0; i > 11; i++);Two problems with this line:
1) The second part of a For loop is the constraint. You have said that for the loop to be entered, i must be greater than 11. Well since you've also told i to begin at 0, this will never happen. Thus, the loop will never enter. You may have meant less than?
2) You put a semicolon in the line. Semicolons are used to end statements. The For loop, when used as a block with curly braces, is not a single statement and does not require a semicolon. Here's the two structures of a basic For loop:
for(int i = 0; i <= 100; i++) {
    //this is a block. you can put multiple statements in here and they are all part of the loop
    int a = 1;
    int b = i;
//if your loop only needs to use a single statement, no braces are required
for(int i = 0; i <= 100; i++)
    int a = i;
