I'll have a look on that if its happening again. From what i saw it was a
few that remained stabil, and a couple kept restarting with a new pid.

I am running with f-prot, and upgraded to the new one last night, perhaps
that helped, we'll see.

I'll post as soon as i find something new.

Bye,
Raymond
