Well - I changed how lua was accessed from .307 to 0.401; it evidently works ... somewhat imperfectly.

I saw no such complains about .306/0.307/etc (not that everything else was bug-free, but I never saw the Lua stack dumps like this).

For the moment, I can revert to what I did in those versions.

Elitism really works better when you're elite.

20k files of 271GB total size is not close to special or particularly unusual in DC; I've had twice that, for example, and there were always much larger shares than mine around.

Despite that, hashing has worked quite well for me.
