Ok, I may give that a try. But, I'll be away from my office for the next
couple days, so it will be a while before I can report back.
Before I left on Friday I stripped out everything within the loop except for
the sleep, just to make sure there weren't any side affects of something
within the loop causing problems. I forgot to do anything to see how long
it would run, but when I came it this morning it had also crashed.
If you can't reproduce this with such a simple test case I have to think
there is something else in my setup.
