Some thoughts to throw in the bucket...

I've been running a slightly abused version of 2.1.4.vk3sb.1 for a long
time.   For most of that time it's been solid as a rock.  Now it has
periods when it gets plum moody and seems to crash all the time.  Then
it runs fine -  currently it's been up 120 hours.   (This is with a very
light,
13 user, load.)   http://www.jnos.org:14501   This is on Suse 6.4 with
a 2.2.15 (I think)  kernel.

Over the past few months I've been running aprsd in a telnet window so I
can watch what happens.   When it crashes, two out of three times
it gives me an "out of memory" error message.   The other times it's
a segment fault.

It "seems", and this is just a hunch, that it's flakier when it's trying
to link to other igates/hubs that aren't responding.

Another bit of info.  It had gotten very bad.  I had to restart it several
times in one day.   Then I rebooted the machine - and it ran solid
for several days after that.

Hopefully some little bit of that was useful.
