Of course, I can't repeat the initialization of >instance after that (need rebooting). It could well be that you have some uncleared shared memory or semaphores stopping the engine from coming up subsequently. Use ipcs to see if there is any shared memory lying around after the crash and ipcrm to remove it. However, Sujit is correct in that you need to ascertain the underlying cause. Otherwise this will not go away! ;-) ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
