Dear Gimpers I uses Gimp-Perl for creating charts(line,bar,pi,etc) in batches the batch can vary from a few hundreds to a few thousand (max 15000) I am using Gimp 1.1.4(I find this version more stable) The problem is the programs just hangs after making 200/300 charts. I think the problem is with the perl server, The program stops after the '%CPU used' shows 95% (of top) for the perl server. If I start two instances of this program the top shows two perl servers. is this right? Any suggestions as to what is going wrong ? Chetan Dhavse
