What is "Saint.exe"? And why it's crashing server?

The error message is caused by the debug libraries of Visual C++. Because the SQL and Clan libraries are debug versions and you are running on a development machine, not a server, it believes you have the source code for those files, and is suggesting you look at the source to correct the errors it has caught.

They may not even break the server if it was running on standard release C++ libraries, but the debug ones will catch memory leaks (which PT is riddled with) and such.

Don't install Visual Studio on the machine you run your server from. By all means, do allocate OllyDbg as your JIT debugger, but you should also be aware that that will also freeze your server and enter the source where no JIT Debugger would just close it down so the auto-restarter could fire it up again.

The advantage is that with Olly, at least you could see the point in the code which is causing the crash.
