Actually, the room didn't crash, but your instance of the chat script 
misbehaved for some reason and you experienced problems.  The room stayed 
active after you left.  I think the session management needs some tuning 
up.  Several people were booted out of the room and back to the 
entrance.  This only happens if the system can't find you inside of a room 
whenever you run the script again (by entering a message, etc.).  After 2 
hours, it finally happened to me.  Maybe the next chat will go much better 
now that I know what errors are happening.  All-in-all, I was very pleased 
to see some 6 people at a time chatting away tonight.  The chat script has 
come a long way in the past month and I'm still determined to get it 
working nicely.  Thanks again to everyone who participated in this chat.
