I *wish* people would realize that messages of the form "The server misbehaves
on my program, please help" are almost useless, except to elicit messages like
this one.  Without understanding *exactly* what your application is doing, or
without some other shreds of evidence, there's basically nothing I can do to
help you.  If the server is crashing, how about at *least* giving us a stack
trace?

[Note: if you don't have all public fixes, get them.  One of them fixes Sun
server crashes, but there's no way of knowing if this is what you're hitting.]
