Crash in the middle of the night (possibly RSS News Reader)

Apparently my internet connection went down in the middle of the night last night, when I awoke, slimserver was dead. Here's what the end of the log said: 2005-03-03 01:09:41.9429 Couldn't resolve IP address for: www.nytimes.com 2005-03-03 01:09:51.9543 Couldn't resolve IP address for: news.bbc.co.uk 2005-03-03 01:10:06.9440 Couldn't resolve IP address for: news.bbc.co.uk 2005-03-03 01:10:11.9559 Couldn't resolve IP address for: news.bbc.co.uk getpeername() on closed socket GEN656 at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.3/i386-linux-thread-multi/IO/ Socket.pm line 206. 2005-03-03 01:10:22.9626 Couldn't resolve IP address for: news.bbc.co.uk 2005-03-03 01:10:32.9731 Couldn't resolve IP address for: news.com.com 2005-03-03 01:10:47.9638 Couldn't resolve IP address for: news.com.com 2005-03-03 01:10:52.9755 Couldn't resolve IP address for: news.com.com getpeername() on closed socket GEN662 at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.3/i386-linux-thread-multi/IO/ Socket.pm line 206.

I'm guessing that that the RSS news reader was involved in the crash, but not sure...
hey! that happened to me too. Cable went kaput at midnight and was dead for 3 hours. I had to erase RssNews.pm in order for the server to start at all. The connection attempts to bbc.co.uk kept the server locked in startup process.
was r2307 expected to avoid this problem??
Yes - as was r2334. I've not been able to get the server to crash anymore when disconnecting my network, and having the RSS screensaver going. Can someone please verifiy? Thanks.
Dean confirms it's been fixed.
