Hi,

....

I know it doesn't seem this way when the program suddenly stops working, but 
this is also fundamentally not a GC problem - in the sense that when a user 
clicks to get a quote, an external tool is used, called Finance::Quote, which 
grabs data from somewhere on the web (Yahoo isn't the only place that F::Q can 
look, although it was a very good place), processes it and feeds it back to 
GC.  F::Q is used by many more projects than just GC.
