I am the author of twander (https://www.tundraware.com/Software/twander).
This code has run flawlessly for years on FreeBSD, Linux, MacOS and
Windows. Some months ago, I put it on a couple of VPS servers (FreeBSD
and Linux) and BOOM, it doesn't run. I asked around here and got some
suggestions and then did some homework.
I see the error being thrown by using the trace module, but it's not
terribly meaningful to me. Any ideas of what this means - again,
I emphasize this is only happening on VPS hosts:
