I assume you realize that's not possible; something changed. Most app pool
failures that involve the SP are due to permission errors somewhere, but
other than that, it's impossible to say without a stack trace from a
crash. I do know that the crashes from problems opening logfiles have been
corrected in 2.5.

My guess is something somebody did overwrote permissions somewhere. You
might also try clearing the /var/run/shibboleth and /var/cache/shibboleth
(in 2.5) directories in between a stop/start, in case some file is stuck
and preventing updates or something.

That doesn't tell me what version it is.

I will not be around much of the weekend, I'm just responding because I'm
online right at the moment.
