pion: That 6.4.3 issue sounds like the lockup bug, but without trying to exit the server and having the process hang around I can't say for sure. I changed the way child processes are created and tried to protect all sockets from being inherited in v7. So far several people have reported it's much more stable so I think that's part of the problem. Some people had a terrible time running under w2k3 which seemed to trigger the bug fairly frequently now have respectable uptimes.
I missed protecting the server from the TCL library as it does create sockets as well. So I'm guessing it's only 99% fixed if people are running imdb style lookup scripts as they create TCP connections and for a very very brief window new executable child processes might trigger the problem.
