[IRCServices] Panic / Segmentation fault?

[Michael Smith]

You mean you dont do daily backups of your services database?

Possible suggestion for 4.5 tho, have a database integrity checker, that
goes through the database, and makes sure that everything is hunky dory,
that way, you know when your database is starting to fail (would be nice
if it had a repair option too, when you have over 5 thousand registered
nicks, (9 thousand and something if you count forbidden nicks) and a 2-3
year old services database, you DONT really wanna have to start from
scrach, and losing a days worth of data (by recovering from previous days
backup) is not really even an option.
