The one in question had one open text, two binary questions and all
the rest were radiobutton choices. Not very complex. Maybe it just
doen't cope well with a lot of radiobutton questions.

I did post recently asking if anyone could suggest where I could set
breakpoints in the code, and what statement to put in there to log
the program's presence at each breakpoint (to a file in /tmp, for
example). I don't know PHP but I'd be capable of adding the relevant
code if someone can suggest it.

It's a bit slow, but it does at least allow me to see what it's doing.
