[Opensim-users] Is "save iar" broken?

[John Hopkin]

I'd really like to back up my inv in OSGrid, and the "save iar" and
"load iar" facility was working about six months or so ago, but I've
been trying again and it seems to hang after starting. I get:

Region (<Region name>) # save iar <1st> <2nd> / <passwd> inv.iar
05:30:11 - [INVENTORY ARCHIVER]: PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS FACILITY IS
EXPERIMENTAL.  BUG REPORTS WELCOME.
05:30:11 - [INVENTORY ARCHIVER]: Saving archive inv.iar using
inventory path / for <user name>
05:30:12 - [INVENTORY ARCHIVER]: Creating version 0.1 IAR
05:30:12 - [INVENTORY ARCHIVER]: Added control file to archive.
05:30:12 - [INVENTORY ARCHIVER]: Found folder My Inventory <uuid> at /

And that's all on the console - the sim continues to work as normal,
but input on the console isn't available. 409600 bytes are written
immediately to the archive, but no more. The CPU continues to be
fairly heavily loaded, giving the impression that something is
happening.

The avatar is logged in to the region during all this. I've left it
running overnight, and there was no progress seven hours later. This
is on OpenSim 0.7.1 80f9022, running on Ubuntu, Mono 2.6.7, using
OSGrid asset server.

I know that iar is an experimental feature, but it's extremely handy.
Is there anything I can do to get it working again? Thanks.
