[ZendTo] Zend.to error during drop-off

[Jules Field]

Ken,

As it doesn't appear to be a RAM problem, the beta won't help you anyway.

How did you upgrade from 4.x to 5.15 ?
The safest, quickest and easiest way is to start again with a new 
server/VM. Set it all up with my Installer, get everything working, then 
port across your database and drop-offs (if you want to).

To see exactly why this might be failing, check the ZendTo log (either 
in /var/zendto/zendto.log or else /var/log/zendto/zendto.log).
And then check your web server error logs (either in /var/log/httpd or 
/var/log/apache2 depending on what Linux variant you are using).

One of those logs should give some clues.

Let me know how you get on.

Cheers,
Jules.

P.S. Sorry, yes, it wouldn't be NSSUtils.c as I wrote it in PHP. My bad. 
Long day. :(
