[Xitami] 2.5b5 GSL crash

[Francis Turner]

This *MAY* be related to the CGI problem reported last week.

I can repeatably get a Xitami server to crash when I hit it continuously 
with WGET running at max and hitting an XML page that runs a GSL script. 
If anyone (Ewen?) is interested in the code I can provide it.

The GSL code basically opens a specific second file, parses it and 
returns a specific text block in a webpage, with the exact file and text 
block depending on the query section of the URL. Each page is on average 
a little under 2KB and until it crashes Xitami is serving up a steady 35 
pages a second which isn't bad considering all the work that has ot be done.

After a few minutes of doing this xitami either stops responding or 
actually crashes. In neither case does anything go into the log file. 
Runing Xitami on a Win2k SP2+ pro machine with 256Mb memory and 1.5Ghz P4.
