Description Frederic Crozat 2005-05-02 16:33:14 UTC 
Distribution/Version: Mandriva Linux cooker

using gamin 0.0.26 or CVS snapshot from 20050502, with dnotify backend :

try to monitor not existing directory with gamin then remove this monitor =>
gam_server will still monitor this directory (using poll).

Testcase attached.

Comment 2 Daniel Veillard 2005-05-09 10:54:38 UTC 
okay, the test doesn't really allow to check the problem but it allows
to trigger it, found and fixed in CVS,

   thanks !

Does the fix apply to the inotify backend at all?
Comment 4 Daniel Veillard 2005-05-10 12:57:54 UTC 
I don't think so, it touch only the gam_poll.c side and is really related to that
module.
