hmm I get google bot hits all the time and it never crashes, give me the last few lines of the log before the crash. Also let me know what platform the server is running on and which compiled version you use.

ok the problem is likely vista related. Until I get a copy of vista to run and test things out on I won't be able to fix any vista related bugs. The windows version I have up on the site is for Windows NT 5 ONLY. Other Windows Platforms are not currently supported.

I suggest you add 66.249.66.211 to your firewall for now.
