[Dxspider-support] 1.45 crashing

[Dirk Koopman]

Hummmm....

This problem is not widespead, but I have seen it before. It seems to be in 
some way message content related, but I haven't tracked it down yet. 

I have investigated and cleaned up the bit of code in DXMsg that is called 
once an hour. It may be that there is a corrupt msg in. It may be that there 
is an actual bug that is overwriting the reference that is being stored in 
the message array and when you system hits it - it crashes...

Just don't know - yet. But you may well be onto something here. Please try 
the updated version for me and let me know (yes I know it's CQWW). If no 
improvement, remove all your msg files in /spider/msg/m0*.
