Possibly, although I suspect that running with $mycall and $myalias has 
messed things up. I thought I had put some messages in to prevent that 
happening, but I am now looking to see what is going on.

Try doing a '/spider/perl/update_sysop.pl' - you should have done this 
after changing your $mycall and $myalias so that they are different. You 
will need to stop the node first and restart it afterwards.

However, I don't think this will be sufficient. The user record for 
IK5ZUK-6 seems to be corrupt. That is what is causing the problem. There 
may be other corrupt records as well. When this happens, it is usually 
better to rebuild your user file from a backup (/spider/data/user_asc) 
but I don't think you have been running long enough for you to have one 
(by all means look). You can try getting  a current snapshot by doing a 
'export_user' command in DXSpider, but it may not work and the node will 
crash again.

In that case, the only option you have is to start from scratch by doing 
another /spider/perl/create_sysop.pl. You will need to do a set/spider 
for all your partner nodes as well.
