I have SIMS running on my machine here at home (Mac clone running Mac OS
9.1, Open Transport 2.7.6), and I use Outlook Express 5.0.4[1] to read and
send mail.
Every few days or so, when I go to collect my mail from my SIMS account,
Outlook Express will crash with an unhandled PowerPC exception (I think) at
qrun+100.
It only ever crashes like this when retrieving mail from SIMS (and not from
any of five other accounts I check), and I was wondering if anyone here
knows whether this is a SIMS bug, an Outlook Express bug, or an Open
Transport bug. Or maybe some other problem within the OS. Certainly if I try
to kill Outlook Express ("es"), Open Transport is destroyed in the process
and I have to try to reboot, killing a few other processes along the way
that were affected by Open Transport getting broken and freeze when told to
exit, including SIMS.
(This is one of those times when I wish I could succeed in getting 9.2.2 to
install on this, for a better copy of Open Transport)
There is no clear indication of any cause whatsoever to this problem. The
Mac is always on (as it runs a Web server too), and this qrun+100 crash can
occur the evening I last rebooted it, or it can wait for several days. It
may not even happen in time before something else crashes me out.
Any help would be appreciated :)

[1] I did upgrade to 5.0.6 but that has a crashing bug relating to sending
styled text, so I reverted to 5.0.4. Though now I remove *all* HTML from
mail via a script, I could go back to it.
