Running Analog 5.32 on RedHat-9 and have noticed that a lot of my reports are never finishing. The reports run from a nightly cron script so I end up with a new instance of Analog every night.
My intuition told me to look for DNS issues so I tailed the dnscache.txt file and saw that IP stopped resolving at a certain point and just filled the cachefile with asterisks.
