Hi all,

Sorry for cross posting but I'd like to get maximum exposure to 
different peoples experiences with pyblosxom.

I've recently moved host.  The old host used Solaris, the new host runs 
FreeBSD - this is the only difference between the two setups AFAIK (the 
version of Python on both hosts is 2.2.2).  I'm having a problem on my 
new host with pyblosxom (release version 0.8.1 - I'll upgrade to CVS/0.9 
as soon as I have time to upgrade my flav_config plugin to the new 
code).  Some (a very small percentage)) of requests for pyblosxom.cgi 
are causing the CGI process to spin the CPU indefinitely at 100%. 
Understandably my new host isn't happy about this and they have had to 
kill those processes.  It probably isn't related but my archive links 
are also returning 404 errors.

Has anyone else experienced a problem like this?  Can anyone give any 
pointers where I might begin to look for the problem? (so far my 
research has proved fruitless - I haven't yet been able to trigger the 
problem).  From what I can see in my logs there is no specific requests 
that consistently cause trouble.  It may be worth noting that there are 
now 1700+ posts in my "blog" (it's not really a blog) directory!
