Having some problems with a WSS 3.0 installation made us go through the SharePoint log files. Just above the error we were running into, we noticed quite a remarkable event…
02/25/2009 12:59:18 1 INF Leaving function ConfigurationProgressForm.InvokeTaskDriverEventHandler
02/25/2009 12:59:18 6 INF The task driver event indiated that the task driver is stopping, so we will sleep an extra 1000 ms so things don't go too fast for the user
02/25/2009 12:59:19 6 INF Leaving function PsconfigBaseForm.TaskDriverEventHandler
I'm glad SharePoint slows down a bit now and then… :)
