There's nothing in /var/log/rt3 because you told RT not to log
anything to the file.  You should touch /var/log/rt3/rt3.log and make
sure your webserver can write to it and then change $LogToFile to the
log level you want - however, you do seem to be getting debugging logs
to syslog so you may not need it (logging the same debug log to
multiple places just slows RT down).

How many Tickets in your database have an EffectiveId of 106648?
There's some performance improvements around merged tickets in 3.8.8.

Usually when folks complain of crashing on old 3.8 tickets with lots
of text, it's a bug in Text::Quoted or a bug in Perl.  Those are both
hard to fix without upgrades though.  You would need a lot more
information to show us what broke though.
