I am replying to my omn message since I have discovered the cause for the
crash. We have very long URL:s in our site (more than 256 characters) and
users post links to them in the forums. When a too long URL is to be
rendered by dnewsweb.exe it crashed. Probably due to some buffer overflow.
The URL that crashed the web interface is 272 characters long. Can you
please make a fix on this?
TIA,
Erik Alsmyr
