Hi Rob,
you are looking in the wrong direction. As far as I see from your crash it's so
that bearerbox send message to smsbox
and not another way around. Therefore you have to check, what you still have in
the store file (if you delete it then also delete .bak files)
and see in the access log of bearerbox which message cause crash.
Alex
P.S. I would suggest to upgrade to SVN version, it's more stable and maintained
as 1.4.3. 1.4.3 is very very old.
