Anope doesn't crash on a netsplit or a known server link, just on a brand new server link. This senario may not have been seen on others using Anope if they have not had a new server link.

You are correct, you did not read the message completely. The topic at hand is
"Services crash on netsplit". If you are talking about something other than
Services crash on netsplit please create another thread and don't hijack someone's thread.
Additionally, panic crashes can be cause by malformed data that is sent to services from a trusted source such as the ircd. It's not possible to foresee all possible scenarios and the most logical solution is to stop the malformed data from being sent to Services. Since thousands of other users also use Unreal and Anope-1.7.21 without issues, it's logical to assume that the malformed data is coming from a 3rd party module or there is something in your specific system configuration that is causing the crash. The crashing program is NOT the only reason that cause said crash, it IS however the only thing that we can control.
I can promise you that out of the thousands of nets using Anope1-7.21 that at least 1 other network has added a new server since it's release.
You have already been asked to unload all 3rd party modules and try again, you have since ignored this request.
We offer help only to those wiling to do as we ask, since you are obviously not interested in following simple instructions, please stop posting your accusations before you get banned.
