Well I went through that, saying that people shouldn't go deleting files. Interestingly enough though, if it ran out of space while creating the files, it *should* work because the files should still be numbered consecutively, and not be missing any in the middle. I would most expect this to happen if files were missing in the middle, like if a category had 0000, 0001, and then 0099 or something. Because my poor-man's random algorithm counts the # in each category in the beginning, stores that, and picks one of those. If it doesn't exist, I'm not sure what happens, but I can try it out when I get home.

lectric has been PMing me and he claims that emptriv is disappearing from the ps output, suggests it's crashing, maybe running out of memory or something. It shouldn't be a memory hog, but the GD lib (and my inefficient use of it) can't be helping... Maybe a port to vfdlib will do the trick.
