MySQL may fail a statement in a transaction with a "Lock wait timeout exceeded" error. This currently causes EOSERV to crash. The crash should be mitigated and preferably code added to rollback and re-attempt a transaction in response to this error.
The final lines in the server log were:
[ERR] Timer callback caused an exception
[ERR] Database_QueryFailed: Lock wait timeout exceeded; try restarting transaction
- Error in `./eoserv': double free or corruption (fasttop): 0x09e60358 ***

By no means a fix, but a work around should anyone else be experiencing this would be to either remove account updating features from WebCP or set the timed save feature to 30-50 seconds. These are not optimal but might prevent a crash should you encounter this bug prior to an official fix.

Added some code in r522 which stops this particular problem in practice, but the double free crash caused by the query failure probably needs more investigation.
Updated Status to CLOSED, FIXED
