Been lurking in this thread for awhile now.  Most of the issues I've encountered have already been reported by other users and patched, but I have two things I can't figure out:

1) I have a very disparate number of getworks to shares in the pool summary (251 to 26).

2) I noticed on one of my any of my clients running poclbm that every 60 seconds after starting I get an RPC error before it continues.  I haven't seen this on phoenix or Ufasoft's miners...

Code:

I don't know if these are all related or its just a poclbm issue.  I was thinking a timeout in apache/php could be the cause but I don't know the best way to diagnose.

I had noticed for the last two weeks I had an abnormally high number of apache2 processes running (150+) for about 20 active miners.  I'd eventually have to restart after apache stopped responding.  This seems to have cleared with the changes committed in the last 3 days.  Again, also not sure if related.

Excellent project by the way.  I just wish I hadn't been tainted by coding microsoft.net all these years so I could contribute some code.
