I updated the file with 1.7.2 code. So far no errors. What is really weird is that I woke up this morning to an email from my host telling me that they had to emergency move my account to another server. Apparently changes that I made had "almost crashed the server". They said the only clue they could give me was that their monitor pointed to the php process.
I did see some errors in my error_log, but everything seems to work normally, and I have no clue why they are saying there is a problem. My development server has no issues, and usually if I make a mistake it crashes quite easily, so... I guess I have to stay in close contact with them and try to figure out if the problem persists.
