This is an engine interface issue. The engine tells the shell when it wants a wake-up call, and the shell sends it. This was not working properly for J46, but was fixed for J5. Looks like we didn't test it thouroughly enough. I suppose that what actually happened is that J5 declared itself lost ? There is no other way to lose on time in auto232. It's quite possible to overstep the time limit without anything happening. Amir
