Hello. I've also provided little to no information. I'm currently using what I believe is one of the latest versions of dailybuild_linux_x64, but with FreeBSD 15. I don't know if the master branch would change anything regarding that minor bug.
Currently, I can't switch the server to another Linux system. It's something beyond my control.

What I've done is create a script, and it seems to avoid that bug. Does anyone know where the bug is? I'll have to compile the master branch to see if it disappears and saves me all this trouble.

Sorry for filling up the message with all of the following.
