That's interesting... any idea if it's crashing in the same place as mine?
I haven't looked into the code in any great detail, but it seems to be all
going wrong in some cleanup/shutdown code -- I guess this explains why the
clients don't notice anything, nor is there any impact on the contents of
the repository, as far as we can see, anyway.

I'll probably run a few buildworlds and swap out the RAM on this machine
anyway, just to eliminate that as a potential cause.
