Yeah I have the same error too. I am using globus 4.0.2. I would appreciate any
help or advice.

fix in globus_4_0_branch

Hi Ravi,

I still don't  understand what do you mean. Sorry, this is my first time try
out Globus toolkit 4. Could you please explain me more detail. I really
appreciate your help. Btw, I am using Linux

-Lani

Lani - your stack trace does not look the same as the specific stack trace
being described in this bug.  If you require assistance, please email
gt-user@globus.org or rft-user@globus.org.  Thanks!
