 DM> var u = new User;
 DM> log("getting total_users"); // added

 DM> var list = [];

 DM> for(u.number = 1; u.number <= lastuser; u.number++) {
 DM> if(u.settings&(USER_DELETED|USER_INACTIVE))
 DM> continue;
 DM> if(u.security.restrictions&(UFLAG_Q|UFLAG_G))
 DM> continue;
 DM> if(u.birthmonth != month)
 DM> continue;
 DM> if(day && u.birthday != day)
 DM> continue;
 DM> log("Adding to list: " + u.number); // added
 DM> list.push(u.number);
 DM> }
 DM> return list;
 DM> }

Heres what I get: I think we found the infinate loop you were talking
about (big sigh)
