[Dxspider-support] K4UGA reboot question

[Bill Strickland]

(Apologies if this is a duplicate post from me.)

Two or three times in the last couple of weeks, I've had DXSpider reboot which was not the result of a server restart.  I've received a message (at login as root, I think) that says something like:

  Can't call method "homenode" on unblessed reference at /spider/perl/DXProt.pm Line 1116

I don't speak Perl and looking around Line 1116, I haven't a clue as to the problem.  Obviously, I can see from the line below which packet starts the shutdown/respawn process but I don't know why it happens nor how to prevent it.  Any thoughts?

Here's a snippet from the debug file:
  (sorry about the line wraps)

K4UGA is a Fedora 14-ish server running Spider V1.55 build 0.82. Rebooting the server itself is easy, of course, but inconvenient for others.  Hate to do it if there is another fix.
