Running well for years here. But it's more like a point system, no high
traffic. Two crashes happend due to harddisk failures.

I heard that there is a bug in the husky tool sqfix, but i couldn't deny or
confirm that, nor i do remember which version it was.

This looks like a filesystem or disk problem.

 PK> x.sqi files were all zero bytes fle size

That's the index files. Those can be rebuild if the *.sqd is not damaged.

 PK> x.sql files were of insigifcant differences

Lastread Pointer file for BBS and Editor. Can be deleted with the side
effect that all mail will be show as new to the users.

If you want to change check that all tools that you use are capable of
dealing with jam base.
