 Xo> !ERROR 98 binding FTP server socket to port 21: address already in use

In all likelihood Synchronet has already crashed and is trying to restart when
you see this message.

You can probably deal with this error by reviewing this, with attention to the
"Rebind" section:

https://wiki.synchro.net/faq:tcpip#bind

Why it's crashing remains an open question. With a debug build you can get a
core file which you can explore on your own, or submit along with an issue on
gitlab.synchro.net:

You may just be running out of memory. Maybe you'll notice a pattern in the logs
in the minute(s) prior to this recurring crash.

I personally run my terminal, web, mail, and services servers in separate
processes, so that if one crashes or needs to restart it doesn't take down the
whole BBS. I'm not really advocating for this but it can help isolate the
problem.
