I certainly haven't experienced this with my scripts.

One of the ways we try and reduce load on both the sim and our back-end webserver for our Amazon search engines is that each item display unit (the floating books) have a sensor script in them that pauses the other scripts inside them unless someone is within a certain distance.

There's no point in the scripts running and cycling through a list of items if there's no one around to see. Plus it reduces the number of llHTTPRequests on the sim (so others aren't throttled), and it reduces load on our webserver.

The only problem seems to be that sometimes we get stack collision errors, and the scripts lock up when they try and resume running after someone comes into range. As they lock up solid, I can't command them to reset remotely, I have to physically (well, virtually) walk up to them and reset them manually.

If anyone has experienced client crashes when approaching the Life2Life installations in any locations, please IM me in world to let me know where you were at the time.
