This error occurs almost every time, once every 20 times it actually works but most times it hangs.

Some times It actually finishes writing the file than it doesn't hang, it just autopmatically comes up with the standard
 -- Cannot find server or DNS Error --
there is no problem with the DNS it just gives that error when it actually completes the file write.

if it does not complete the file write the file size of the created image == 0 and the browser goes into a constant loading cycle, but never loads the page.

The following function is usually called within a class, if that matters.

it's not a bad piece of thumbnail code, feel free to use it at will.

Thanks
