      WELL, this bug causes it to die and NOT come back up.
     
     As far as I know this is NOT true, there was no permanent crash according
to my logfiles

      So please bring MiDS up and disable summon pet monster until its fixed!!
     
     I am not going to disable options to prevent the server from crashing. I
AM going to post a warning on the Fido messageboard that asks people not
to use it. Please don't exploit this bug to gain advantages

Thanks for your bugreport!
