 * Robert:
    the problem is caused because your server is using PHP 4. You should
   ask your hosting company to migrate to PHP 5, since PHP 4 is deprecated.
 * PHP 4 doesn’t implement chained processes, so the chained stuff on line 62 was
   giving an error.
 * I’m uploading a new version anyway, to make it compatible with PHP4. Version 
   0.4.1 will be up in a few minutes.
 * Thanks for using List Category Posts.

 * The PHP 5.X requirement was not mentioned in the install. Thanks for updating
   it to work with PHP 4.X (I do not use a hosting company, we run our own server
   and some of our in-house projects require PHP 4)
