Updates and specially these kinds of updates are always welcome Smiley

The buffer overflow bug was something I had been experiencing for a while, it would cause my client to crash, glad to see that has been fixed.

Core is still randomly crashing for me from time to time, but I think that is because I run it on a very old system.  I have not been able to pinpoint the cause of most of my crashes, and the log file doesn't give any clues.

RAM, maybe? I'm running a node on a 4GB machine and it crashes every now and then without an apparent cause... I suspect it is an extreme RAM usage. It crashed during stress tests, at least here...

My node has also 4GB of ram and it runs fine. I was having constant crashes, after researching around it turns out that it was 1 module of RAM with faulty memory, which was causing a memory leak when a program took way too much RAM. The client wouldn't stop growing in RAM usage until it collapsed. So I would do a memtest for starters.

Good suggestion, thank you. Unfortunately the machine in question is a VPS.
