   After saving something in SCFG, Synchronet normally recycles its servers in   
   order to pick up the latest configuration.  Sometimes I've noticed that error   
   too. It's like the previous instance of the Synchronet servers don't fully   
   exit before they start again.  I'm running my BBS in Linux, and after saving   
   my configuration, I've been in the habit of doing this, which stops the   
   Synchronet service, waits just over 2 minutes (to allow time for the servers   
   to fully stop), and then starts Synchronet again:   
      
   sudo systemctl stop sbbs;sleep 121;sudo systemctl start sbbs
