it boomed again, same problem, but different part of code. There's a sector with no navs in it, someone was visiting this sector and the code that finds the closest nav broke the first time round, then after the restart the same person went into the sector again and the code that tries to find somewhere sensible for the player to arrive at broke because the first code returned a blank for the best nav, and the server was trying to find the position of something that didn't exist ... Boomsville, AL (pop 45, all pod-hatched body snatchers).
The problem was caused by the object handling overhaul I did recently - the code was starting to get a bit raggy with all the patches on patches (kinda like the road does after all the services have dug it up, put their cable/pipe etc in, then 'fixed' it up again). Sometimes you just need to rip it all up and start again from fresh to make it look all nice again.

are you saying "sometimes you just need to do a server wipe to make it all nice again?" *shudders*
