From the read me:The BIAP W*API Patch is a small W*API Server Plug-in designed to improve the stability of Macintosh web servers in heavy load situations. It corrects problems in the implementation of W*API in several servers, including WebSTAR 3.0. Use of this plug-in is recommended especially if you have other plug-ins installed that perform intensive network or memory based operations. I have been testing it for a few days with WebSTAR 3.0 and WebCat 2.1.3. It claims to have saved my bacon many times, although it is too early to tell if it is really effective or not, since I have relatively light traffic and few crashes anyway.I think you can get it at www.biap.com.
