More details of the error could be helpful (e.g. check the message in your data/error.log and report back?).
Error=38 is ENAMETOOLONG, so that seems unlikely to be the actual error code. WinError value would be more helpful in this case.
Checked data/error.log. Indeed shows Error=38. Hopefully the extra detail is enough.

term Node 1 <*user*> !VDD WriteFile(0x3a08, 2) FAILURE (Error=38)
Okay, here's the Microsoft description of that error:
ERROR_HANDLE_EOF
38 (0x26)
Reached the end of the file.
SBBS is trying to write to the mailslot that it uses to communicate with SBBSEXEC.DLL
It sounds like SBBSEXEC.DLL has terminated or not started (not sure). To know more, edit the file exec/sbbsecho.ini and set the single line "Debug=true". Then run a Windows debug viewer (like
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/debugview) to capture the debug output from "sbbsexec" and hopefully see something useful that you can report back here.
