the script manager, you won't be able to start Greyhound again for about
60 seconds. I checked everything and socket_shutdown() and socket_close()
are being called properly, so I don't know why it's failing.

The playlist isn't reloaded properly. This is because each of the child
- threads have the playlist cached in memory, and I haven't figured out a
- way to make them all reread the playlist file. Eventually I'll have code
- in there that keeps track of the children and sends a SIGHUP to each of
- them and have that fire an event that reparses the playlist file. The
- only real way to fix this for now is to disable multi-threaded mode by
- setting $allow_fork to false at the top of greyhound.php.
+ As of version 0.1 alpha 3, the playlist should be updated properly. If
+ you change your playlist but don't see the changes show up in Greyhound
+ after about 1-2 minutes, please report it as a bug. Please see
+ this forum post
+ for more information.
