backupserver Thread and a bug in 4.13?

1.
I have problems after having 4,13 installed. Also new software was installed by a Romanian (Connex) service centre, good service! They claimed they had a newer version of the .sis files than the ones on the Nokia site. It is indeed different in size.

The error that I got is
>application AppArcServerTread
>Reason code FSCLIENT panic
>Reason number 24

It happened frequently after typing a password with Smallbase.
But now I am confused, because Smallbase does not give this error any more and works fine.
I had it also when opening a small mail in messaging.

After this error the 9210 becomes unstable and has to be rebooted.

2,
at Taksmanager a (at least for me) new piece of software appears, called BackupserThread. It varies in size (about 200K)
Cannot end that task with Taksmanager.
what does that software do?

1. I have this same error message occasionally on firmware 4.13.
Most of the time this one appears when opening a word document or an email from my inbox and appears only once. It doesn't have any influence on stability in my case.

2. What I think it does is closing
contacts, messages and calendar when other applications need memory. I do
not know if you noticed but once in a while I need to reopen one of these
three applications ater using other memory hoggers.

Well, to be honest the error did, till now, NOT come back any more.
The only thing I changed where some things in Taskmanager, and I am absolutely not sure if that has to do with it. I stopped the automatic memory compression. ( With 4,13 anyway not so uselful any more?)and I disabled some shortcut keys. But I cannot see that that has anything to do with it.

Yes I remarked that closing of software. very handy! The memory really is much larger and more efficient. A great improvement.
And no more spontaneous resets!

I only had the idea that a wrong " missed call" came in when I was downloading mail. That person said he did not call me at all, while de day before I had a real missed call from him.
Brings me to some weard behaviour of the log program, but also that may be my great fantasy.

I am really happy with this upgrade.
