Hmm... usually mserver will not restart automatically, maybe you have set it to autorestart on ODB (/programs/mserver/auto_restart 
set to "y").

It would be unusual for the main mserver program to crash, to debug it, you will need to run it in a terminal
and see if there is any error messages. Even better to run it in a terminal inside "gdb" and capture the stack trace
when it crashes.

Anyhow, crash of main mserver will not cause "dropped rpc connections" to clients - this would require for their
individual mserver subprocesses to crash. Such crashes would be highly unusual and are harder to debug.

Perhaps for the crashes you see there is some error messages in midas.log?

K.O.
