Lockup issue survey:

1) Has anyone running ioFTPD without any addons had the server lockup?

2) If addons are involved, are they tcl scripts or external apps?

3) If tcl is involved, does the script make use of sockets? I.e. an imdb script that talks to imdb directly and not through curl.

4) What about 3rd party libraries such as neoxed's share DB or mySQL libs?

When replying include ioFTPD version, addon scripts you are using, and what operating system and how many processors/cores you have.

It's looking increasingly likely that this is some bizarre issue with MS libraries. In particular tcl's use of winsock and/or 3rd party libraries. Since I can confirm the lockups I have information on involve the loader lock it's possible various static runtimes are conflicting or the static runtime is having issues with the dynamic runtime on some operating systems...

I'm looking into recompiling everything against dynamic runtimes and distributing the MS redistributable versions for people to install to see if that fixes things...
