I have attested to the UDF issue. Can you pinpoint exactly when the program
crashes by tracing it through or by debug messages / logging. It maybe a
specific query or even a insert/update ext to a table that has a trigger
that refers to a udf. A stray pointer, incorrect udf declarations, all
these can cause problems.
