Summary 0000210: SSP crashes randomly - update

Description Related to issue 0000134

I finally have some more info! My friend had an instance where SSP crashed randomly, but her script log was open, and I was able to confirm that the crash happened right after my ghost used an http-get command. I will include a screenshot of her script log, and select parts of the STACKTRC.TXT, since it contains other info she doesn't want to be public.

I was able to reproduce this myself. Originally, I set up my ghost to do the same http-get commands it normally does, except I had it do them every minute. After a few hours, and hundreds of http-get commands, no crash. So I put my ghost back to normal (an http-get command every hour), and overnight it crashed again. I'm not sure if that's just some weird probabilities, or if this crash could be linked to me being away from my computer. It has happened to me while I've been at my computer before, though, so I'm really not sure.

I will note also, for the purposes of testing (and having the data still available on the changelog hours later) I set my ghost not to talk for the past few days. So, all that's in the script log is http-get commands and top of the hour notifications. The ghost isn't actively doing anything else but that.

It's very strange that these crashes aren't consisent. Sometimes I get a lot of them, sometimes I don't. I'm thinking it's probably related to how many ghosts I have running that are using http-get, I think I'll try that tonight and see if I can prompt more crashes.

Final note, I have also edited the .csv file with my script log, to obscure the zip code contained in the url. Given that my friend also gets crashes, though, and her url is different from mine, I don't think the exact url is the issue here.
