No, there is no core file.

Of course, there are a lot of messages in the logfile, but none of them 
can be related to the crash of the server. Or at least I cannot see any 
relation.

Icecast gets its data from darkice, which produces 6 streams (Three MP3 
and three OGG). At the moment there are no relays involved, but i'd like 
to activate them as soon as possible. Furthermore, I am using MRTG to do 
some statistics. Another computer is requesting every 5 minutes a xsl 
file for every stream and one xsl file to get the number of all listeners.

The file for all streams looks like this:
############
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl = "http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" 
version = "1.0" >
<xsl:output method="text" indent="yes" />
<xsl:template match = "/icestats" >
<xsl:value-of select="clients" />
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
############

And one of the files for each streams looks like this:
############
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl = "http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" 
version = "1.0" >
<xsl:output method="text" indent="yes" />
<xsl:template match = "/icestats" >
<xsl:for-each select="source">
<xsl:if test="@mount='/live-hq.ogg'">
<xsl:value-of select="listeners" />
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
############
I am no XML specialist, these files work and i hope that they are not 
the reason why icecast isn't working properly.

I didn't change the other xml files.
