If a system (notebook, internetradio or what so ever) setup a number of connections is a very short time (couple of seconds) the server crashes. If I start Kmail on the notebook (with 5 mailboxes) the server crashes within seconds. Its always reproduceble. If I change the broadcast on the internetradio fast (for example 3 time with seconds between them) server hangs. All the server hang ups dont leave a trace in log or console what so ever.
