Linux.

I solved the problem by placing default values incase of no title or no
content, which was what I assume was causing the problem (hasn't crashed
in 12 hours since with heavy board usage, and this was a pretty steady
crash causer when people used the boards).  Problem with tracking it down
was the core file would get overridden when it re-crashed trying to read
and sort an empty board.

Also noticed the patch lacks catching people who fail to use a topic.
