For me it looks like a memory corruption bug or smth., I remember years ago on one line value of variable is one a few lines down is completely another, even though nothing modified the value.
This is not the issue of upgrade SERP. But serverip.dat in this case contains the value: 192.168.88.12:1301, so this is local IP of the server with SERP.
Anyway I don't understand what do you me...
