texte = I would suggest checking your code. The reason I say this is that because I recently found some bad code in a database updating script that I have had running for several years. Because the database had grown substantially over that period, I "knew" it was a corrupted database! As it turns out I had a single ] bracket missing from a search context that when encountered didn't error out it would simply take my server to it's knees and eventually force a server restart. After adding the missing ] on [/search Everything works fine now. The code in question had been in place for over two years and I just recently found the mistake.
