[FX.php List] [OFF] FMS server leaky on OS X...?

[Steve Winter]

Hi Joel,

Well to be honest I wasn't doing anything... close the lid, get off  
train was my usual approach, however based on you email I presume that  
there is a risk to my dbs by doing that, so since this is the place  
where everything gets developed, and the 'master' copies of many of my  
solutions are often open I shall take more care in the future...!

Cheers
Steve
