-## Known Problems
-
-* Ruby 2.0.0 (at least <=p353) is causing a segmentation fault crash that
-only occurs after a few hours. This is [fixed](https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/9168) in newer versions of ruby.
-
-* DBM (if using Barkeley DB, maybe other backends aswell) is requiring manual repairs to work after
-a crash.
