this box is dedicated to run the swiki only and it can only be the swiki process hogging resources, there's nothing else running on the box.

I thought this could make it crash earlier, but it still took a couple of hours. it was usually (for years) started with -headless only. the amoount of data in the swiki is only gradually increasing. during testing, i had two swikis not starting up, but responding with "file closed". could this mean one of them triggering the bug ?

(just kidding) other than that, i'm stumped. cheers, tee btw, i'm on the list, no need to cc: me ;) _______________________________________________ Pws mailing list Pws@cc.gatech.edu https://mailman.cc.gatech.edu/mailman/listinfo/pws
