Hi Mark,

This is the first I have heard of any issues the ca repeater crashing.

Is this running under cygwin or mingw? Compiled by ms visual c or gnu?

The stack trace has no symbols so it's hard to determine a cause. If you
could fire up the relevant debugger and get a stack trace with symbols that
would help. You might need to build base for debugging. Set HOST_OPT=YES in
CONFIG_SITE. Also, if you save the debugging session in visual c++ and email
it to me I might be able to identify the issue.

Jeff
