[Dxspider-support] Possible Problem ?

[Colin Harris]

This may be pure coincidence.

A user issued sh/dx YW1T   to see what bands he had been
worked on.
Apparently , immediately Spider and the entire computer
 Linux)
stopped and rebooted.   Since autostart for Spider is used
it came back up again. f7 is used for the autostart , but on
f1 screen was this error :-
Can't use string ( "" ) as a HASH Ref while "Strict Refs"
in use at /spider/perl/DXDb.pm.

A subsequent sh/dx yw1t gave the results required without
the computer crashing.

Anyone any thoughts. The linux reboot was not due to a mains
glitch since gb7orh stayed in operation. gb7pdx , on which
this occurred , had been running 18 days possibly 19.
