Fort Wars server keeps crashing - which add-on is doing it?

[Planr]

So I have been having a serious problem over the past year and a half, where my Fort Wars server keeps crashing after running for between 30 minutes to 2 hours. I was told that getting rid of RTB and switching to Blockland Glass would solve the problem, but so far it has not helped at all. I still keep crashing.

Here's a list of all the addons I have enabled:

Please help me. I am quite confident it is an addon I have that's doing this. I don't know which one though.

I've developed a list of mods I think are potential candidates for being the source of the crashing. I normally run my server as a spacebuild with most of these same mods enabled, so I've singled out some of the potential culprits that I only use for fort wars:

Brick_2x4Pillow
Event_SaveLoadItems
Script_Player_Persistence
Script_VehicleRestriction
Support_Player_Persistence
Vehicle_AA_Turret
Vehicle_Heavy_Machine_Gun
Vehicle_Light_Tank
Vehicle_M119Howitzer
Vehicle_Snow_Speeder
Vehicle_Viroll
Weapon_Boombelt
Weapon_C4Explosive
Weapon_FlashGrenade
Weapon_FragGrenade
Weapon_GreatSword
Weapon_Landmine
Weapon_Mortar
Weapon_Remmington700
Weapon_SFRevolver
Weapon_TF2Ambassador
Weapon_TF2BasicGuns
Weapon_TF2DemoPack
Weapon_TF2Pistol
Weapon_TF2ScoutPack
Weapon_TF2Sniper

I also bolded the items on the list that I think are the most likely culprits.

can you describe what is happening when your server crashes, in general? also is it possible to get a trace and/or console log?

Every single time the crash is completely random and unexpected, usually happens after the server is running for a long time (30 minutes to 2 hours). Running trace is not possible because the server would be unplayable due to the lag and the fact that I have no way of knowing when it will crash, and normal console logs do not reveal anything out of the ordinary.

I remember that the frag grenade mod used to be a little sketchy.

part 1: what i mean is what do you think is happening/is happening on the server when it crashes? combat? a new player joined? lots of people building at once? given that the time isn't consistent and its relatively short this means something is getting triggered that crashes the server, maybe a function loop or something.
part 2: understandable. just asking in case you thought it was possible.

[Conan]

as for an attempt to fix things, try disabling the howitzer. i know for a fact that does schedule loops and the like and is probably the most prone to having some screwup regarding infinite loops and such, even though its been around for such a long time with no reported bugs.

I'm gonna host again tonight and see if I crash again. I disabled the TF2 weapons and the frag grenade.
