I saw this in an error log a few days ago but had no idea what it did.
A while ago when I clicked Publish I started getting white screens but
the post was being published to the blog. No obvious cause and a forum
search showed this was happening back in 1.2.x
I just removed the pingomatic link and made 3 test posts which went
through much faster than my posts had been doing. I also got no white
screen. Put pingomatic back - 15 seconds to publish + white screen.

I know the structure has been changed about the pinging and someone
might say upgrade but someone posted to the forum who is having the same
problem and using 2.0.1 (

So if it is pingomatic that would explain the white screens in every
version and the lack of an obvious cause.
