Hi Francis, ah, this helps me a bit further. I'm storing some connection specific information via hashs. Need to cross check if this is inserted into a connection directly.

So vortex tries to free all user stored data if a connection is closed? And it assume that only pointers that can be deallocated are stored?

Ok.

Ok. I'm wondering why it crashes on Linux but not on Windows... but might be pure luck.

Ok. I'll let you know about my new finding. Thanks again.
