Ghosts in the interests code

[afuna]

Bah, the issues with interests are slowly driving me to distraction. Two requests about interests within hours of each other! I feel that those two... three? issues have been going on long enough, so I spent the afternoon digging into interests code.

No progress on any of the issues, unfortunately, and I'm left feeling that there are, indeed, ghosts in the interests code. Without a reliable method of replication, I can't even tell whether it's memcache or actual stored values that are the problem.

I have the feeling that when we figure out what's wrong, it will be a FLASH OF SUDDEN INSIGHT HOW COULD I HAVE MISSED IT. But today, I'm well and truly stumped past the point of unproductivity.

*shakes fist*

Will get you, yet.

Hi, I saw this post while reading my Network page. Are you collecting data points of Bug 2135 occurrences (I have 2 known cases besides what was reported)?

[yvi]

Oh Gosh, more cases??? *weeps*

[afuna]

Yes please -- and thank you! We know of three or four instances, and so far that hasn't ben enough data to figure out a pattern, if there is one.

Thank you!

I'm screening the comment because the auth bit of the link to the request shouldn't be visible to anyone else, but I'm really grateful for the information you've provided. Do you mind if I ask more questions, etc, once I've digested and dug a bit more? Will probably do that on the request itself, so that the info is all in one place.

Ask away. My internet access will be spotty for most of this next week, so you might not get answers from tonight until Friday, but I'm willing to help however I can.
