    It crashes every time shortly after I click on the "install" button. Does it in both IE7, FF3, and Google Chrome.

    This is all I get in the Apache error log each time:

    The MODx error log shows this error over and over -- many times per second:

      I had this for a second before I ran an upgrade with a fresh transport package. Did you rebuild the core package?

        Yes, but it took an unusually long time. ( > 400 sec.).

          That smells like a larger problem... building the latest package takes about the same as it ever has here, between 10 and 25 seconds depending on how many things I have running at the time.

            I’m probably on a slower machine. The builds normally take about 120-180 seconds for me, but I’m doing them from inside my editor which launches its own php engine and debugger.  Still, from the error logs, it looks like there may be an infinite loop in the install under some circumstances.
