Hi,
I think I may have found what was causing the problem. Due to
http://bugs.locamotion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=960 the already large Etoys
file had got already larger (each edit added yet another misformatted
line to the PO), and at a certain point, the file grew so large, that
the PootleServer process choked on it. I cleaned up the files, and
hopefully that will solve the problem (I'm still keeping my fingers
crossed though... :-).
Thanks,
Sayamindu
