    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.
