event handler problems

[Roberto Moral]

I run into the same problem a while back and posted to this list.. never
got a response. I trouble shooted the event_handler and found out why
the proccess was not being re-started. If you do a search for me name in
the archives you should find it. Maybe you'll have more luck getting any
kind of reply on this issue.

good luck,
