I've noticed that sometimes too, in Windows.  It seems to happen randomly, so I
don't know how to reproduce it.  My guess would be that if you happen to be
posting a message at the same time that the sub-board messagebase is being
updated (via a QWK update), maybe there's some resource conflict that causes a
crash.  I haven't verified that theory though.  I made a local update to my
message reader to close its MessageBase object while posting a message and
re-open the MessageBase after the posting is done - That seems to allow the
total number of messages to be updated (in Linux), and hopefully it will make
it more stable too.  I'll release an update to my reader after more testing.
