RE: Interchange crashing

Excellent! Ok my next question is what can I do in the meantime while I am
waiting for a fix? What changes can be made in order to prevent this from
happening?

Thanks Mike!

Bug confirmed, but not yet fixed.

The problem is an apparent deadlock in the housekeeping routines
that keep track of the number of servers. Only happens if you get
MaxServer or more accesses in HouseKeeping or less seconds, and
doesn't affect pre-fork mode (which is why we haven't seen a crash
on any production sites which are all using pre-fork).
