Andy, In XrdXr/XrdXrClient.cc, the method XrdXrClient::handleWait begins by comparing the waitTime with maxWait (~ line 481). But maxWait is not a time. It is the limit on the number of times that one should wait. I am wondering if the code should be comparing waitTime with maxWaitTime (rather than maxWait)? -- Gregory J.
