I haven't had any shutdown crashes since I started getting the alert
that the secnews server wasn't accepting connections. It was crashing
for a couple days before that, on a few different nightly builds. I
suspected it might have been related to getting no response from the
server, or something. Can't reproduce it now. Didn't have to delete any
.msf files to clear it up, either.
