By the way, one more thing: I have three sites running on this server - staging, live and an old keepalive instance. The live site is the only one exhibiting the scheduled proc problem; it's also the only one that gets any significant traffic. So I'm thinking it's some kind of overflow

I realized after I sent this last night that the other two sites are probably still working because they haven't been restarted in quite a while. The live site gets restarted fairly frequently, so it started exhibiting the problem right away. janine On May 16, 2006, at 12:18 AM, Janine

Tom, Janine's sites are completely unrelated with mine. And I've seen this problem on three different unrelated sets of servers. Our upgrade from 3.x to 4.x was not that painful, the most time- consuming part was rewriting approximately 35 configuration files for the tons of services we
