No infinite loop, but a blocking write to a fifo, as my fifo listener process was killed off. I wasted lots of memory with my stale php processes. Sorry about that! I fixed it by adding checks for the fifo listener (using pid files) and aborting the php script if the write would be blocking. -- [[en:User:Dschwen]] [[de:Benutzer:Dschwen]] [[commons:User:Dschwen]]
