Subj : Corrupted Memory (216)

Perhaps this message is to xqtr, because there was a message from him to this
base at some point in the past about dealing with the issue.

Anyway, issue:
Trying out the ibfs script again, which worked the first time I tried it. But
today I tried it again, and after that my BBS would attempt to run the Python
script, but would immediately disconnect.

The logs gave the error message:
An error has occured: Corrupted memory (216)

Which others have faced (e.g., when switching Linux distros), and previously
g00r00 said it might be due to some Python2 issue, and there's a guide for
compiling Python so as to make it behave:

http://wiki.mysticbbs.com/doku.php?id=python_install

I had previously followed these instructions, though with 2.7.18 instead of
2.7.15. And the ibfs script ran okay the first time I tried a search a few
days ago.

I also tried deleting my fsx_dat messages, and while it stopped crashing
after I did it, it started crashing again as soon as I sent another search
(for "bulletin", BTW) through.

And I went through those directions again, though I did not uninstall Python
first -- just compiled it again. Perhaps I should try that next. Other Python
scripts run, for whatever that's worth.

The only other thing I recall doing around that time was running apt
update/upgrade, but I think I did that after my BBS started crashing.

Anyone with other ideas? I'm at a loss as to what I possibly would have
changed to cause it.
