My server was shutdown. Anyone else experience this?
I wonder what's going on there.

I have had this happen to me one time due to a sector on my hard drive,
however I had when compressing mail, I moved the mail to another drive and defraged / scan disk to fix the issue. so I guess I would move mystic and do
a defrag / scan and move it back to see what happens ( thus placing mystic on deferent sectors of the drive )

Sharing violation issue, could be HDD data access or memory issues with a shared process.

Restart and see if pain persists...

Well sounds right. So it's not a "Mystic" thing i guess so that's good.
It's going to be a pain transferring 3 boards to a new HD.
I need a new Hard Drive. I'm running everything on a 160 GB HD..
My OS-Games-Browser-Movies-storage and my 3 boards. A good friend
will be sending me a new 500 GB HD when he has the chance.

According to http://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/user/userap4.html

216 General Protection fault
The application tried to access invalid memory space. This can be caused by
several problems:

* Dereferencing a nil pointer.
* Trying to access memory which is out of bounds (for example, calling move with an invalid length).

I would test the hard drive with badblocks before you chuck it out, as I suspect it is a mystic bug.

Are you suggesting our beloved Mystic BBS software is capable of bugs? :)

Hi Avon!

15 Nov 2016 12:35, from Avon -> Caphood:

Sharing violation issue, could be HDD data access or memory issues
with a shared process.

HDD issue virtually impossible.
Memory issue highly unlikely but possible.
99% it is buggy software.

See if you can circle in when it happens.
Sadly such things are often seen with race conditions, which are very hard to circle in ...

Good luck!

CU, Ricsi

Heretics! Really I like the game Heretic ;) and Doom... Totally un-Mystic BBS but good games ;)

Looked it up, Blasphemy is a game too, but not so great (more Blasphemy) ;P
In Blasphemy you take part in the fate of a would-be Messiah. Your aim is to convince your compatriots that your Jesus, and your Jesus alone, is the genuine article.
Gives a new turn to 'personal savor', huh?
