Some info on the server instability
 

From the IRC channel:

Estu_: do you have any idea why it's been so unstable lately
nilbog: yes. for many months theres been a heap issue/crash unresolved. there's a thread where rogean posted a pic/description
Estu_: do you know if there's going to be a fix anytime soon or is it impossible to say
nilbog: not my department. all i can do is say there's 750% of normal effort applied to fix it.
