runaway cgi

OK. My hosting service shut down The BeOS Journal at http://
www.beosjournal.com because of a "runaway CGI/PERL script." Well, the site is
built dynamically using REBOL. What next? I asked them for stats to see if it
might have been a DoS attack or whatever, but I'm still waiting. Sigh.

Hi Ryan:
I'm just curious, but is this a secure site? Or
more precisely are any of the cgi programs linked
through a secure URL?
I have had that problem myself. Runaway process
that ate up to 98% of server resources.
That reminds me, I need to check
on that end to see if latest /core for linux has solved
that....

I just use a basic hosting service. I don't understand what might have gone
wrong.

What versions are being used? Released/Experimental?
Does the script have iterative sections or is it guaranteed to complete?
I absolutely want to avoid such a scenario and is the main reason I haven't
been experimenting with CGI on an ISP server yet so I would like to know if
it Rebol or not.
Thanks,
Brett.

It is the /Core 2.3 version for Solaris on Sparc.
