Why don't you want to release the source?
why do you want the source to be open?
one could say "security issues", but you have to trust the server-admin anyway, no matter what,
if he wants to cheat, he could change the code at any time, so there's actually no point in releasing the code.
i'm sure there's reasons to ask for it, but if you think about it, it wouldn't change anything,
it would just enable others to create new (and eventually cheating) pools, which is one of slush's reasons not to do it.
if he doesn't want to, that's ok to me, there's no
need to know the code, cuz it wont proove anything anyway.
just my 2coins

back to main-topic:
i just noticed, that one of my miners stopped working about half an hour ago,
no error, no msg, no nothing, it just stopped.

hashcount just froze like that.
the same thing happened once already yesterday on my 2nd pool-miner and never happened before on local getwork-servers.
check your miners more often, might happen to you too.
