texte = Linux 3.08The couple of seperate occasions I have seen this problem, I thought it was just mebeing too tired, so I coded around it and went on.But now I think webcat is having the problem and not me.[showif [URL][RequestID][/URL]=[URL][raw][RequestID][/raw][/URL]][textshow=F]HideEditorActs=yes[/text][/showif]sometimes hangs. By sometimes I mean the above line of code on one page will causethat page to *never* load. But on another test page it causes no problem and thepage loads as expected. I know you think there must be an error in that previous page,but I have been over it thoroughly and anyway I can simply comment out the above lineof code and the page loads fine - *every time*!! But the moment I remove the commentsit goes back to never loading. I have seen this behaviour before but I cannotreproduce it on purpose so I can't say why it only happens sometimes.
