I'm having issues with pcmonitor on and older vps running Debian squeeze. I've found that running it through valgrind keeps it stable. (No "SOAP" errors or "pcmonitor: double free or corruption (!free) 0x-blah..." errors)
For eg:
valgrind pcmonitord -v
Optionally dumping output to /dev/null:
valgrind pcmonitord -v > /dev/null &
Im unsure why it continues to run through valgrind happily while it wont run solo, but it its been running for about an hour through valgrind with no issues.
Install valgrind on Debian/Ubuntu:
apt-get install valgrind
If someone out there is having the same issue, and doesnt mind a hack-job rig, maybe this can help.
