So far I had found two blosxom plugins that will generate a menu
from the directory hierarchy. Both work perfectly well in dynamically
generated pages, but when static pages are generated by the blosxom
perl script, the same script is iterating over every single post,
causing these plugins to be called again and again, raising their
counters to astronomic heights.
One fix would be to disable the use of these counters which is
configurable with both plugins, another was to place a locking
variable to avoid duplicate counting of posts.
There may be a more elegant solution, such as calling this kind of
plugins only once instead of once for every post, but I failed to find out
if this is possible.
