I have been unable to repro the server crashes that cause the property database to be wiped out. So at this point I am using a Windows task to make a copy of that database every hour if it is large than 1 KB, and when the Thay module loads, there is a check in place that will verify if entries exist in that database. If they do not, the assumption is that the property database somehow got destroyed in a crash again, and it will instead load the backup as the main property database. And even if the backup is still somehow not right, I now I have a daily backup I can fall back to if we need to restore from that as well.
So at this point, go ahead and manipulate furniture again as little to no loss should occur with the backups and workaround in place. I intend for this ugly workaround to exist only until I can figure out the root of the problem. So if anyone is placing furniture and the server crashes, please create a bug report and give as many details as you can think of as to what was going on prior to the crash.
