I've recently started having a problem with the RSS Ticker on my
Transporter.  It's not cycling through feeds like it used to.  (I'm
also suddenly having a problem with SlimServer crashing, but don't have
that debugged enough yet to post about)  

System information:
SlimServer Version: 6.5.0 - 9916 - freebsd - EN - iso-8859-1
Perl Version: 5.8.8 i386-freebsd-64int
MySQL Version: 5.0.24a
FreeBSD 6.x server
Currently have --d_plugins, --d_server and --d_memory debugging flags
enabled.

I have the MusicInfoScreen, Weather Date and Time and Lazy Search 2 3rd
party plugins installed on SlimServer.  

I am running MusicInfo and Lazy Search on the Transporter.  I am not
running Weather Date and Time on the Transporter.  I am running all
three on my SB3.

Basically, whatever feed is the first (BBC news in this case) just
keeps scrolling a single headline, not cycling through multiple
headlines, and not moving on to the next RSS feed.

This only happens on the Transporter.  The SB3's RSS ticker is working
as expected.

At first, I suspected the MusicInfo Screen plugin was the culprit, as
I'd recently installed a new version of that, but I disabled that
plugin, killed and restarted Slimserver, but the problem persists.

Then, I suspected LazySearch, as I recently installed a new version of
that.  Same procedure, no dice.

Then, I suspected the final third party plugin I've got running:
Weather Date and Time.  Same procedure, no dice.

Then, I suspected perhaps the BBC RSS feed was hosed, so I removed that
feed from the config, killed and restarted SlimServer.  The problem
persists.

Looks like Slimserver is fetching the subsequent feeds, but they're not
being displayed.  For example, right now, a single headline from CNET
about interviewing Bill Gates and PS3 sales is displaying.  The logs
show that feed being fetched.  Next up is Yahoo, and the logs show that
being fetched.  But Yahoo's ticker is never displayed:

2006-11-17 14:13:41.8052 RSS: Fetching next feed:

Then, I realized that maybe the SB3 was causing the feed fetches, so I
unplugged it from power.  SlimServer still fetches new feeds but still
fails to display them on the Transporter.

Any ideas?
