Icecast - Mar 2013 - problem with ices 0.4 and playlist scripting

hello all,

   I have been using ices V0.4 successfully with the built-in playlist handler
for a couple of years now, but I recently decided I?d like a bit more control
over what is played and when.  I?ve read as much as I could find on the internet
about doing this. I?ve written a php script to connect to, and query a MySQL
database for the tracks to play.  When I run the php script manually from the
shell prompt it seems to work perfectly.  Yet, when I attempt to get ices to use
it things seem to be working for a little while, but then I get the  following
strange error on the console:
Segmentation fault
This occurs immediately after Ices reports startup complete. ices.log shows no
errors just startup complete.
  I will be happy to provide any further information that is needed if I can.  
  Thanks for taking the time to read this, and thanks in advance for any help
you can offer.  by the way, I apologize if I?ve sent this to the wrong list, but
I wasn?t sure where to go with this.

Kind regards,
Ben

ices0 is crashing here.

ices0.x is not supported any more for over a decade. Why don't you just
move away? ices2 is a working, stable and well supported replacement.
It's a very good tool and I recommend to use it.
If your use case is not covered by ices2 there are a lot other clients
(see the list on the homepage for some examples).
