I suspect there's some nasty interaction between the insistence on re-writing the feeds file every so often and re-reading it in another thread, for the easily reproducible crash. The one I'm currently seeing, I have no idea, but nuking the cache seems to "fix" it. That's why I think it's some corruption, but it's hard to really tell, especially in a 36M file... I definitely plan to keep working on this, as at the very least, if it dies, I'll be able to personally yell at the party responsible for fixing it. :-) Frankly, it surprises me too.

I'm glad you found something I wrote to be informative/helpful. SQLite is just darn handy, I tell you what. Unbeatable license, small footprint, straightforward to use, portable, fast, and has enough features to be perfect for embedded use. I'm working on a feed aggregator designed to scale to large numbers of feeds. I was planning, for the sake of simplicity, of having it generate HTML (like rawdog) and then be command/file-based for configuration and administration. I've never programmed in curses before and I only use Windows at home for the time being... I'm surprised software implemented in Ruby would be so unstable as you claimed. Please keep the world updated on this blog if you make any progress. Hi! I’m glad you found something I wrote to be informative/helpful.
