I agree with targetsmart ... up to a point:

Assuming appendLoggedFile does what it says on the tin, I can't see that that call can be problemmatic since (I assume) it's constantly writing to a file on the file system - if it were problemmatic i.e. the file system is full, then it wouldn't be possible to get the thing working by restarting - unless, of course, your script resets the output file before going into the loop i.e. outside the scope of the snippet you provide.

If the behaviour of both readXML and writeValueXML were to be disclosed, then that opens up the possibility of discounting either, or both, of them as being the source(s) of your troubles.

A user level that continues to overstate my experience :-))
