[Xitami] Xitami crash question?

[WhiteShepherd]

Actualy I do have my Xitami in a loop.

:xitami-start
reloadc (a little program I wrote to count the reloads to the screen)
xitami
goto xitami-start

But say someone is loading the main page and it crashes half way through?  
Will they get a half loaded page or will it continue to load ok?
