I ran some fuzztesting overnight (on a 32-bit WinXP VM, off of trunk), and when
I checked on it this morning, I had "WARNING **: Too many taps queued" so many

I've never seen this before. Could it be a result of the files I was testing?
New bug in the trunk?

Any insight would be appreciated.


Your fuzz probably triggered a loop over a tapping point. There can be TAP_PACKET_QUEUE_LEN (=100) taps be pushed per packet.

You should grab that fuzz and investigate the loop.

Thanks,
