[Dxspider-support] Corrupted storable string crash

Sun Jul 21 15:42:35 CEST 2019

My node has been running 6+ days now without a crash. I had already
rebuilt the users file so re-creating the qsl database file seems to
have cured the crash. I cannot recall ever rebuilding that file in 19
years running a cluster. Its size went from around 8M down to about 800K.

Thanks and 73 de Mike, W1NR
