Cobra Rapier Hang

Standard methodology: Start with an empty AddOns folder, then add one by one Nemoricus' oxps, restarting after adding each, until your log reports the error.

Faster methodology (on average) - add half the OXPs back. If problem appears, remove half of those. If it doesn't add half of the remaining OXPs. Repeat adding/removing single OXP makes issue re-appear/disappear.

Same technique, but a faster way of doing it normally, if a little more complicated to track.

[gnustep]: 2009-06-14 20:30:34.656 oolite[4932] could not convert to UTF8 string! bytes=04911c59 len=6

Doesn't look good and after that point everything can happen, I think.

The interesting part of this is, that I get the same error for some time now - but the values differ without changes to the OXPs!

The values in oolite[x] and bytes=y do change, but len=6 always stays.

It does not seem to cause harm, though.

Misunderstanding, I meant how could this error be produced by an oxp, in other words: If I searched for it, what eactly would I be looking for?

You’d be looking for that message appearing in the log. :-)

Hmm, if the bytes value is changing something nasty’s going on.
