Steve:

I agree with you and others here, ISC has done a great job in short
time.

As one whose "other job" is as a flight RN on a helicopter (medical
transport) lets put it this way....no one is dying cause your name
servers are crashing...in this area you get one chance to fix a
problem and if you guess wrong or hesitate too long someone may truly
suffer due to is.....name server crashing is not that area for sure.

I think everyone needs to take a nice deep breath, relax, ISC will
come up with a fix soon, and for now if its crashing look into
something like maybe psmon to keep an eye on it and kick it back in
(at least in the *nix) world.

Now if someone can tell me how to do the same restart in Windoze I'd
be much appreciative, (Not my strong suit and I've got one box here
with 9.5.p1 on it that dies at random.
