Frontier Spontaneously Quits

[Andrew Duncan]

Hi there,

Has anyone else experienced a situation where Frontier will spontaneously quit?

I have two systems running Frontier 8.0.5 on OSX, and both of them tend to
die, without leaving any trace in the logs, for no apparent reason.

One of them (the twin 533 G4 where I'm writing this) gets almost no load at
all, since it's the machine where I develop and test web apps, yet it still
drops dead occasionally.

The other machine (a single-CPU G4) runs as a public web server, and so has
a higher load, although it's not extremely busy. It will die several times
per day (six times yesterday for example). I have an AppleScript app which
relaunches Frontier, but I'd prefer to solve the underlying problem.

This machine also runs Apache on port 8192, and PostgreSQL. I mention
Postgres because Frontier connects to it via TCP/IP, on the same machine.
Not sure if this is relevant or not, but I found one post which suggested
that connections to localhost may be at least part of the problem.

I've reported this to bug at userland.com, with a request that they tell me
what I can do to help track down the problem, but have had no response as
yet.

Any clues or advice would be much appreciated.

Cheers,
