Server on Vista 32bit running Minetest 32bit version 4.14 or 4.15
To start with everything fine, it can run for days, real time not game time, with no problems, then after a while, maybe 2 weeks it just starts crashing with the same error. It can be anything between a few seconds and a couple of hours.
I've read through some of the other, similar posts, and followed the advice, but I still constantly get crashes. I don't even have to do anything. Just start up the server and after a while it will crash with the same error as shown in the below 2 examples.

I don't know how often it's suppose to write this file, but everytime I check in the world folder there is an env_meta.txt file dated and timed at the same time as it supposed to have not been able to write the file.
This is the contents from env_meta.txt written at 03:20 after the last crash. I'd already changed the day_count back to 1 after previously changing the game_time to 100.
day_count = 2
game_time = 6456

If anyone could offer some advice it would be well recieved.
