Bizarre error, 75 meg file created in cgi-bin?
I was configuring a global to show the latest 5 links on a new site. I had forgotten to add a new template in the global, so the global was looking for 'lastfive.html' when I tried to load the home page. Instead of an error the page just hung indefinitely.

After a while editing the global caused an error in the admin side, and with debugging enabled it reported the disk was full. I have 100 megabyte allocated to this account, and when I looked into it there was a file called core.29102 in cg-bin that was 75 megabytes in size. I would guess that when the page was hanging there was actually a lot of info being written to that file!

It was easy to delete it but I thought I would post here to see if anyone has had a similar thing happen and in case it was of interest to GT.
