Hi JC,
Awesome! Thanks for putting this together!
I installed 4.3.30-0.6.el7.terabithia yesterday evening and there was no
xymongen crash this morning (no e-mail and no core dump)! I'll keep an eye
out the next couple days, but looks like these changes have fixed the
crashes we've been seeing!
Thanks for your help as always!
