Are you running Xitami as a service or a GUI application?  The NT service
is more stable than the GUI.

What version of OpenSSL is compiled into the server?  Most applications
should be fully switched over to the 0.9.7 series (latest = 0.9.7b) unless
there is sufficient reason to stick with the older 0.9.6 series (latest =
0.9.6j).  Anything less than 0.9.7b or 0.9.6j is subject to security
vulnerabilities (and/or crash bugs depending on how old it is) and XiPro
should be upgraded immediately.

Hope this helps!
