Hi, As Andrew said, it's possibly a third-party module. I suggest following the instructions in the FAQ that deal with generating a backtrace. If Services crashes again and you have a backtrace, any coder out there can see where in the code the crash occurred. This will even be useful if indeed it's a bug in a third-party module, because you can then take that backtrace and say to the relevant developer "your code is broken, fix it". :) Something else that I just thought of - when you next add akills, try listing them to see that they are indeed in the correct format.
