[Opensim-users] opensim suddenly breaks

[John Sheridan]

It may be related, although in our case it doesn't happed on the first 
run after an upgrade.  It seems to be a few hours afterward.  Per chance 
when you upgrade do you copy the new build over the old one or just wipe 
the old folder and start clean?  I wonder if maybe this is related to 
something thats left inside the opensim folder between upgrades such as 
the script state files?
