So first thing, subscribe to the <ulink

+ or the <ulink url="https://lists.privoxy.org/mailman/listinfo/privoxy-devel">Privoxy

feedback or report problems you noticed.

If you wish to receive an email notification whenever we release updates of
<application>Privoxy</application> or the actions file, <ulink
- url="https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/ijbswa-announce/">subscribe
- to our announce mailing list</ulink>, ijbswa-announce@lists.sourceforge.net.

-<title>I get a completely blank page at one site. <quote>View Source</quote>
- shows only: <markup><![CDATA[<html><body></body></html>]]></markup>. Without
- Privoxy the page loads fine.</title>
- <para>
- Chances are that the site suffers from a bug in
- <ulink url="http://www.php.net/"><application>PHP</application></ulink>,
- which results in empty pages being sent if the client explicitly requests
- an uncompressed page, like <application>Privoxy</application> does.
- This bug has been fixed in PHP 4.2.3.
- </para>
- <para>
- To find out if this is in fact the source of the problem, try adding
- the site to a <literal>-prevent-compression</literal> section in
- <filename>user.action</filename>:
- </para>
- <screen>
- # Make exceptions for ill-behaved sites:
- #
- {-prevent-compression}
- .example.com</screen>
- <para>
- If that works, you may also want to report the problem to the
- site's webmasters, telling them to use zlib.output_compression
- instead of ob_gzhandler in their PHP applications (workaround)
- or upgrade to PHP 4.2.3 or later (fix).

+<title>After adding my custom filters, &my-app; crashes when visitting certain websites</title>
+<para>
+ This can happen if your custom filters require more memory than &my-app;
+ is allowed to use.
+ Usually the problem is that the operating system enforces a stack size limit
+ that isn't sufficient.
+</para>
+<para>
+ Unless the problem occurs with the filters available in the default configuration,
+ this is not considered a Privoxy bug.
+</para>
+<para>
+ To prevent the crashes you can rewrite your filter to use less ressources,
+ increase the relevant memory limit or recompile pcre to use less stack space.
+ For details please see the
+ <ulink url="http://pcre.org/original/doc/html/pcrestack.html">pcrestack man page</ulink>
+ and the documentation of your operating system.
