There seems to be an issue which is caused by improper handling of accented characters (like ú ç ü ã é ó) causing Shoutcast2 to crash. Please note that this is a Shoutcast2 / sc_trans2 issue, so we are not able to fix it because we are not the developers of those two, but we are trying to find a workaround this though.
We got in touch with the lead developer of the SHOUTcast toolset at AOL/Nullsoft about this (and other bugs) a few days ago. He said he has been moved to Winamp development by the management at AOL, and has no idea when he might be given more time to work on the SHOUTcast toolset. He said he'd really like to do so, but management is saying no despite the many known bugs in the current versions of DNAS2/sctrans2.
Most likely the only way to deal with this would be for enough users to start complaining to AOL/Nullsoft, as it's the management at AOL/Nullsoft that need to be convinced to dedicate time to fixing this. Unfortunately Winamp makes them a lot more money than SHOUTcast DNAS, so that's why they're focusing on Winamp development.
In the meantime, we suggest that you avoid using files containing these types of characters in their ID3 tags.
Your clients server has the following problematic file: Diablo 2 - Roger and me.mp3
It's metadata contains some weird characters, like: §£¡ÐËR'§ §¡GHT ÅÑÐ §ØÛÑÐ
As soon as the client removed these characters from the ID3 tags the server did in fact stop restarting.
