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... :-).
