The short of it is that if your failure mode is the same as mine, extending your datasource life to a very big number can help.
The crashes occur when a datasource is supposed to expire and witango starts a thread called _iodbc_unload. It never unloads the datasource, CPU usage hits the roof and witango crashes.
