I'm not quite sure if this has been reported before, but I had a hard time trying to find someone else who had the same problem as me. When I try to completely rescan my library on OSX 10.5 the iTunes import stops somewhere near the end (terminated unexpectedly). The only way I could resolve this is by downloading and installing Activestate Perl 5.10 and running slimserver with the newer version. This problem has been ongoing since Squeezeserver 7.5.x (7.6 doesn't abort the scan but just never finishes, 7.4 works perfectly). My library is around 20000 songs most which are in Apple lossless so I really like the 7.5 update. Is this going to be resolved?

Sorry if this has been posted before. Delete this if you guys are already aware of it.
