 * It is possible to exceed MySQL or PHP execution time limits and when you do you
   can get a similar result and don’t always get a notice or warning about it. I’d
   talk to my web host and try to get more details about exactly what is going on,
   and I’d think about [paginating those comments](http://www.google.com/search?q=wordpress+plugin+paginate+comments&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a).

 * I use the standard built in limit comment per page but the problem is the same…

 * Have you talked to your web host? I still think it sounds like a timeout issue.
 * Do you have the same problem if you set the comments per page limit to a very
   small value, like two or three?
 * Also, if this started with an upgrade, make very sure that all of your files 
   _actually_ got uploaded. FTP can hang and files end up missing or corrupt.

 * The blog work on dedicated server, this is the setting about time php:
 * max_execution_time: 330 (phpinfo)
 * With wordpress < 2.65 non problem.
 * Yes, I’ve the same problem if I set the comments two or three per page.
 * The data about the records are OK… I’ve done many test with sql statement on 
   number of comments about a post, I’ve split the 117.00 comments in plus posts(
   es.UPDATE wp_4comments SET `comment_post_ID`=11517 WHERE `comment_post_ID`=11502
   and `comment_date` > ‘2008-10-01’), there are the result:
 * – with 117.000 comments in a single post wordpress 2.84 crash
    – with 49.027 
   comments in a single post wordpress 2.84 crash – with 35.240 comments in a single
   post wordpress 2.84 run but it don’t numbering correctly the totale number of
   posts, it say “no responses to” – with 9.721 comments in a single post wordpress
   2.84 run and numbering correctly the comments
 * For me there are bug on wp 2.84
 * What can I do?
