Re[3]: [Xitami] Yet another crash...this time an error message

Run it as a service.
Then do not use any network monitor like  those that came with antivirus or
analogx. This is going to put your CPU consumtion to 95/100 %.

Good luck:

Ps: My Xitami has several months runing and it never came down...
