   I see, that explains the gap in the log.   
      
   I noticed your JS runtime heap size is a bit small at 16M. The default   
   nowadays is 10x that (160M). Just as an experiment, you want to try increasing   
   that value (e.g. in SBBSCTRL:File->properties->JavaScript->Heap Size)?   
      
   I'd like to root-cause and resolve the issue, so steps like filtering the   
   client IP, increasing the JS heap, could just work-around the issue which   
   could always pop-up again in new and different ways. So it's good that you   
   have a reproduction case/configuration as well and that can be valuable.   
      
   I do think it's interesting that you're getting a debug assertion, which I   
   think can only happen in debug builds (e.g. of websrvr.dll). Are you building   
   your own Synchronet executables? If you are, that implies you'd have MSVS/C++   
   installed and could potentially attach its debugger to the crashed sbbs and   
   get a backtrace (callstack). That could be very useful in helping to   
   root-cause and resolve this heap corruption.   
      
   Another thing that could potentially help would be a packet capture (e.g.   
   using Wireshark), so we could maybe feed that same HTTP POST request back into   
   a webserver and reproduce the crash.
