 Hi Team

 I can give you a live example similar to the original error above, that
 happened to me today.  At least, I think this is similar, and it may help
 you.  It might qualify as 2nd opinion of symptoms (sorry it's a bit
 verbose).

 The blog in question is at gazlannathai.com/eye and since way back around
 WP 2.5-ish has used the current Wynton Magazine theme from Michael Oesser
 in Germany.  Unfortunately Michael has finally decided to go full cost
 Premium with his themes after upgrading them for WP 3.0, thus I decided to
 have a hack at it myself, having already heavily modified Wynton over the
 years for the "Eye".

 First thing I tried was a straight "convert to child theme of twentyten"
 in the style.css to see what that got me - it sort of worked but the
 typography went all crazy and the normal horizontal nav menus in the
 header became a vertical list-out

 Within 2 to 3 minutes of messing around in the CSS to reset font sizes
 (and that's all I was touching at that point) I hit a server 500 error,
 then moments later had the account suspended for query flooding.  Part of
 the error log is here -

 That went on for hundreds of lines in the space of just a couple of
 minutes.

 Luckily I have a good relationship with the techs at this host, ticketed
 them I was live-developing and knew exactly where the error triggered
 from.  They unsuspended me and I knocked out the child theme lines in css
 = end of problem immediately.

 During the brief period it was active and "sorta" working, I did notice
 the header menu list was heavily truncated, compared to the full
 categories list - I didn't count it, but I think it was probably around
 20-25 categories showing from the 6-7 pages of categories in admin
 (however many cats that is).

 --
 Now here's the thing - On another site (longrangelogistics.com) I have
 another of Michaels themes (Branford Magazine - also tweaked and
 customised, a little) that uses the same header-nav horizontal menus
 scripts, and it has a hundred or so multi-tiered child categories under a
 narrow top level of 8 or 10.  With both the Branford and the Wynton
 themes, I've never had issues coming from those nav scripts like the issue
 at the top of this ticket.

 The themes (pre WP 3.0 versions) are GPL.  If you want copies for
 evaluation of how he did the nav menus, let me know.
 In my book they run perfect, but I'm now sweating at the thought of
 upgrading those themes the long & hard way to WP 3.0 full compatibility.

 Hope it helps with something
 Gaz
