>The server is freezing because the ARQ interface in fldigi crashed, and the

>server gets a buffer overflow when trying to write to fldigi.
>The messages you see are from the internet APRS backbone.
>Rein PA0R

So gentlemen, this is a fldigi problem and nothing else!?
I restarted my server yesterday at 13.15 UTC it was working last night until
30m went down now it is still running but 30m is not quite open yet so I can
not see if it gets any replies.
