The SimpleAds cron instance has started to hang following my upgrade to Drupal 7.10 and then 7.12.

Usin cron debug it became obvious that it starts and never stops.

I can give you anymore info as it just hangs

Hi, Please provide me with more details on this.
How you found out that this is happening because of the SimpleAds module ?
Thanks.

Using the cron debug module you can run ONLY the simpleads cron to debug. I can confirm that it hangs for me also. This is after an upgrade to 7.24 (from 7.16 or around there).

I am working with tchopshop and can confirm that the issue appears to be that this module is creating enormous (> 192 MB) temporary tables in some queries it is running, and this is rejected by our specific host as being too large.

This is probably a limit that many people will run into, and some queries being run will definitely need to be optimized. I don't have a patch toward this end, as yet.

This is a serious problem. My cron stopped running and i used cron debug to run the modules individually, SimpleAds gives me "Error 502" "Website is offline No cached version of this page is available." "The web server reported a bad gateway error." and an error is displayed "Cron presumably failed while running the cron hook simpleads_cron() in the module simpleads."
