I am sure, you are right. That's what I guessed from reading the code,
thanks for clarification.

I will keep an eye on it if it happens again.

Great! Consider it done. :)

I downloaded the source code anyway and compiled it, because my server is a
64 bit system and I thought the Linux binary would be for a 32 bit system.
And since it is on a production system I don't want "unknown" code there,
call it paranoia *g*.  So there's no problem with compiling it.

Thanks for helping!
