in case you want to try it, "sudo /etc/init.d/mysql stop", try to 
compile and start again.
also you might find a "low memory" option in scons/gcc man pages. i will 
have a look, too.
if the first helps, we might want to set up some "down for maintenance" 
for those minutes of compiling and go with it.

I should have 256MB of RAM guaranteed. That should be enough to compile 
glob2.

as you asked me to get a bigger server: i got plans that, taken bradley 
continues doing a job worth paying for and taken some business plans of 
mine become real, i will have to save some money somewhere so it's not 
the right time to expect me getting a bigger server. sorry i'm a bit 
short on time, too so i didn't upload and can't upload now what i 
compiled yesterday on my router.

weired. so i replace the running binary, kill it and it gets started 
over again if the 5s-timer sees it's not running? strange, but looks 
like it works. will save us if the server crashes. will it save us once 
the server freezes in some infinite loop, too?

i forgot to ask: is beta2 served via beta3? most people interested in 
glob2 should be running beta2 clients.
