sorry about that. I actually thought that's what you meant, but after doing helpdesk for over 5 years, I've learned not to believe everything people say (sorry!).

hmm...now, will litestep crash doing any of those three items, or only when you do all three in that order? if it only happens when you do all three, then you may want to configure austerity to use a different tasks module, see if that helps.
