 Ga> Strange.  My SBBS has *never* crashed, in over 7 years.  Granted, it runs
 Ga> on Linux, but there are plenty of folks running on Windows that don't see
 Ga> crashes, either.

I ran my Synchronet BBS in Windows for many years, and I saw random crashes
occasionally.  It was often enough that I found a utility that would check
whether the SBBS control panel was running, and if not, run it; I set that up
to run periodically via the Windows Task Scheduler.  I did some debugging, and
as far as I could tell, the crashes looked like they were related to the
Mozilla JavaScript library that Synchronet was using, but I didn't go further
to get more information to see what exactly in the JS library was causing the
crashes.

It's interesting of other Synchronet sysops in Windows hadn't been seeing
periodic crashes, but the fact that a SBBS check utility exists for Windows
seems to suggest for me that other Synchronet sysops saw the same issue and
someone decided to make a utility to re-run it if it's not running.

I wondered if the crashes were due to something I was doing in some of my JS
mods for Synchronet, but it seemed to random to easily track down.  And now
that I'm running my BBS in Linux, I feel like it hasn't been a noticeable
issue anymore for me.
