Re: both my servers crashed

["Ron Davis" <ron_davis@xxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I run a Tor server (0.0.9.8) on Win98SE. I had similar error messages in
the past 12 hours. However, Tor seemed to be still running. I got the
following error message from Windows:

"Microsoft Visual C++ Debug Library
Debug Error
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual
way."

Here are the last error and warning messages from Tor:

Apr 23 12:51:03.960 [warn] connection_tls_finish_handshake(): Other side
(82.83.71.120:62411) has a cert without a valid nickname. Closing.

tortls.c:814 _assert_no_tls_errors: Assertion 0 failed; aborting.

After the first Windows error message, I rebooted and found the
installer exe of the backdoor program FTPCentre.13.A on my system (
http://www.megasecurity.org/trojans/f/ftpcenter/Ftpcenter1.3.html ). 

I suspect that the instability of the system somehow opened it to an
intruder.

Regards,
Ron
