  45 Well, we recently had a problem where our services (not ircservices but
  46 based on it)
  47 went into a spinlock, and there was no way we could even find out what it
  48 was because
  49 as soon as it happened the process monitor killed it for eating CPU, and
  50 there was no
  51 way we could get it to core. This has never happened to me with
  52 ircservices, but what
  53 if it did one day? The same problems would occur.
