[FX.php List] [OFF] MPDF geeking after a server config file rebuild

[Leo R. Lundgren]

Yeah, the mPDF source code is a real mess, that's for sure.

But in there is probably where/why you have a problem :)

I guess there are other ways to try isolating the matter (since you know what you changed when it stopped working). I'd dig into the code though.

After not too many steps you should be able to tell at which point in the source code the problem happens.
