Are you saying that the settings themselves are reasonable for the purpose, and that this particular crash just happened to be such a one that no software running on the system in question can reasonably help with that scenario? This happened on a VM that I can't directly influence the hardware configuration of (a commercially provided VPS), but I should be able to jury-rig something using the provider's API if necessary. -- Michael Kjörling 🔗 https://michael.kjorling.se “Remember when, on the Internet, nobody cared that you were a dog?”
