If the setups are the same the compare the line you say is the problem if
they are the same than thats not the problem.

is conflicting, a reference that is expected, but missing/coruppt...

I did a quick experiment and got the exact crash you described by putting
a hyphen after the name of the server in in the metrics section of
Xnews.ini

So try deleting that, the whole section is fine, and see if the problem
is solved.
