SH How to keep aleph_server running?
PB Aleph_server is being stopped very often (two or three times a day) from reasons we are not able to identify since its log file is not very talkative.
It seems that there is a relation between the time when a_s is stopped and a message Signal .... received in the log file:

....
server no 4 is on
signal 1 received...
server no 1 is on
server no 2 is on
server no 3 is on
server no 4 is on
Tue Dec 15 07:44:27 MET 1998 *** start aleph_server ***
Tue Dec 15 07:44:27 MET 1998 *** start aleph_server loop ***
server no 1 is on
....

or

.....
server no 1 received end connection from client
signal 15 received...
server no 1 is on
server no 2 is on
server no 1 is on
server no 2 is on
Wed Dec 16 07:32:53 MET 1998 *** start aleph_server ***
Wed Dec 16 07:32:53 MET 1998 *** start aleph_server loop ***
server no 1 is on
....

There are some other strange messages in the log file, the reason and importance of them are not known to us:

...
server no 4 is on
server no 5 is on
Service not define IO_ORDER
Service not define IO_ORDER
Service not define IO_ORDER
Service not define IO_ORDER
server no 1 is on
server no 2 is on
.....
server no 20 timed out
Execution error : file '/aleph/a33_0/aleph/exe/com84.gnt'
error code: 114, pc=0, call=1, seg=0
114 Attempt to access item beyond bounds of memory (Signal 11)
server no 1 is on
.......

What can we do for keeping aleph_server running? We need it for Aleph libraries network in the Czech Rep.
