SABnzbd stops checking RSS feeds after 15+ hours of uptime

Windows XP SP3
SABnzbd 0.4.11 (problem started with 0.4.6)

After about 15-20 hours or so, SABnzbd stops checking the my RSS feeds. I have looked at my log file and see the entries where it is checking the RSS feeds every 15 minutes, and then suddenly it stops checking and there are no more log entries. Everything else seems to be working without any problems. I can force the RSS feed to download, and restarting SABnzbd will get it checking the feed on its own again.

I had been using version 0.4.6 for about 9 months without any problems. This problem started a few days ago, and I decided to upgrade to 0.4.11 last night to see if the upgrade would fix the problem, but it didn't. I installed 0.4.11 around 1am, and the log file shows the RSS feed being checked every 15 minutes until around 9pm, and then nothing.

My guess is that I have a program that is conflicting with SABnzbd. Windows Event Viewer does not show anything unusual. Anyone have any suggestions on how to debug this?

Thanks.

SABnzbd consists of a number of rather independent tasks.
My guess is that the scheduler crashes for some reason.

You can sign-up for 0.5.0 Alpha testing (see "Beta Releases" board).
The internals of SABnzbd are quite different in 0.5.0.
