The Windows service for Orthanc automatically restarts the server when it crashes. If the configuration file is broken, Orthanc immediately crashes and is restarted. After each restart, a new logfile is generated, which can spoil the Windows filesystem.

The solution would be to stop the service if Orthanc has to be restarted, say, more than 3 times over one minute.

I have implemented a limit of 5 restarts.  Each restart is delayed by an incrementing delay (1 2 3 4 5 seconds).
This will be available in the next release (code name 17.5.0)
