Hi,

I am running Icecast 2.1.0 on a Debian Sarge with a 2.6.8 Kernel.

After upgrading to the new version i have the problem that the icecast2
process. It is regularly dying after running 20-26 hours.

There are no messages in the icecast logfile nor in any other logfile.
The only message, which is written to the shell which started the
process, is

xsltApplyOneTemplate: template was not compiled
xsltSaveResultTo : unknown ouput method

Any ideas ?
Thanks in advance for your help!
