[Oscailt] front page & modules - re-caching problem or wot?

[Crash]

Thanks for the hints. The key to the problem might be in the first line 
of code in the code box:
 <?php global $system_config; ?>
The next lines are a select statement to retrieve items from the db:
 $query = "SELECT [...]
and
 $query_table = mysql_query($query);

Is simply declaring $system_config as global vars sufficient to then 
allow a db query? It's the only thing I can think that might be causing 
this problem.

Thanks again

C
