Here are two messages Fletcher Dunn sent in the past hour and a half.

In order to conduct disciplined engineering, we need data from those who are able to reproduce it. Judging by the amount of discussion this problem has generated and the relatively small amount of effort that is required in order to get the data to us, I'm really surprised we haven't received more traces. I have given out vtrace keys to every person who has asked for one. So far we have received traces from exactly two (2) server operators. One server operator had processor affinities set, the other was running a high number of instances per core, such that the average CPU utilization was high and there was no headroom for more than one process to spike.

If you remove the validate, does it still give you the error?

Silly question but have you got enough space for the update?

If you do, try chucking your settings into a file instead then use only the +runscript <file> parameter.

i.e.

@ShutdownOnFailedCommand 1
@NoPromptForPassword 1
login anonymous 
force_install_dir ../orangebox
app_update 232250 validate
quit
