Subject: Re: CRITICAL: NULL Pointer Dereference in html_to_ascii() Causes Server Crash Loop
Interesting bug. We would have preferred if you included a stack trace, but in this case I was able to immediately reproduce the bug using the method you reported.
A fix has been committed, and is currently available via Easy Install. Container packages arriving shortly.
UCG seems a little unstable. I got booted a little while ago, just logged back in and with only 3 other users I assume citsrever must have respawned.

At 2:56pm (US Eastern time) watchtower upgraded Citadel and restarted the server. I've gotta figure out how to make that happen during off hours.
Subject: Send messages with registered date one hour after.
Dear All,
This is happening to me.
I think that is happening since the last upgrade (some days ago) when I send a message it has the date one hour after I sent.
I only noticed now. I upgraded at 6 Nov, 17H39 Central Europe Time. I can verify in some emails in the "Sent Items" after that (6 Nov) are registered one hour after than when sent.
Happens with all the emails clients.
Are this happening to someone else?
Thank you,
Luís Gonçalves.
Subject: Re: Concerning tha last two posts in Support Room.
Dear All,
Concerning this problem I improved the realibility of Citadel doing the following.
I noticed that the available memory (with "top") was not too much (some tens of Megabytes) and it had a lot of Buffer/Cache Memory. And the Swap has about 200 MBytes or more.
I suspected that when Citadel needed memory was not freed fast enough. Then I remembered that in Apache, I has configured disk cache with some time out to free it.
I disallowed the disk cache in Apache and the time out. I noticed that now I have more free memory (hundreds od Megabytes) and the swap is almost not used. Some times the free memory goes to more than a GByte showing that memory is freed.
Thank you,
Luís Gonçalves.

This night happened again. More coredumps. I updated the citadel. It installed and compiled a version but it remained the same version number. Did that attended my problem?
If not a send the new coredumps.

I hope that you solved or are solving this problem.
Let see that if or not happen again.
Unfortunately, your core dumps are not useful to anyone because they are specific to your citserver binary. I suppose if you include your citserver binary it might be useful, otherwise a stack trace is better.
In your case, we're just seeing so many weird things on your system that don't happen anywhere else. It's difficult to pin down why. I would strongly suggest that you give some consideration to moving to the containerized version of the Citadel system. It is lovingly built for you in a carefully controlled environment. Perhaps switch to the container version, and if necessary, do a ctdldump/ctdlload on your existing data.
And of course take lots of backups before doing anything.
