Crash on event.send() after a while.

Hi! Amazing lib.
I had a crash on event.send() the last day.

I have this wrapper around events.send()

void HsHServer::sendEvent(const char* type, JsonDocument& doc) {
    if (!hasEventClient() && !serverRouter.connected()) { return; }
    const size_t size = measureJson(doc) + 1;
    char* buffer;
    if (!hshSystem.alloc(buffer, size)) { return; }
    serializeJson(doc, buffer, size);
    events.send(buffer, type, hshTime.getEpoch());
    serverRouter.redirect(buffer,type);
    free(buffer);
}

This method called frequently.
The crash clearly was in here

The esp was working great. It was up for 2 and a half days but crashed with this error.

Any idea?

[hitecSmartHome]

This portion of the code looks unfinished in PsychicEventSource.cpp

void PsychicEventSourceClient::sendEvent(const char *event) {
  if( !this->server() || !this->socket() ){
    return;
  }
  int result;
  do {
    result = httpd_socket_send(this->server(), this->socket(), event, strlen(event), 0);
  } while (result == HTTPD_SOCK_ERR_TIMEOUT);

  //if (result < 0)
  //error log here
}

httpd_socket_send API states the following

Returns:

Bytes : The number of bytes sent successfully
- HTTPD_SOCK_ERR_INVALID : Invalid arguments
- HTTPD_SOCK_ERR_TIMEOUT : Timeout/interrupted while calling socket send()
- HTTPD_SOCK_ERR_FAIL : Unrecoverable error while calling socket send()
- 
Note:
This API is not recommended to be used in any request handler.
Use this only for advanced use cases, wherein some asynchronous data is to be sent over a socket.
This internally calls the default send function, or the function registered by httpd_sess_set_send_override().

Why is there a do while loop? Can't we just do this?

void PsychicEventSourceClient::sendEvent(const char *event) {
  if( !this->server() || !this->socket() ){return;}
  httpd_socket_send(this->server(), this->socket(), event, strlen(event), 0);
}

or better

bool PsychicEventSourceClient::sendEvent(const char *event) {
  if( !this->server() || !this->socket() ){return false;}
  int result = httpd_socket_send(this->server(), this->socket(), event, strlen(event), 0);
  if( result == HTTPD_SOCK_ERR_INVALID || result == HTTPD_SOCK_ERR_TIMEOUT || result == HTTPD_SOCK_ERR_FAIL ){
      return false;
  }
  return true;
}

For sure something is fishy in here
