Thanks for writing up the issue! That is not good that it may be causing your Pi-Hole to crash.
I'll take a look at the issue and see if it is truly that domain that is causing the issue. It doesn't look like it is valid anymore or perhaps it's part of a CDN and the upstream provider parsed it incorrectly and now it begins with three dashes.
In the linked article it looks like there is also a "${tomcat_server}" and """ before this domain. I believe that is the actual issue since the domain you referenced is a domain has valid characters, the others are not and dnsmasq doesn't like them. Regardless let me take a look at it and if needed I'll fix it or at the very least block that domain since it is no longer active.
Happy to help. Doing so is the "open" part of open-source.
I counted the first 146 lines on your list as STARTING with a "-" symbol, and the crashes are happening between 12:00M and 1:00am, which is I'm guessing when the daily "gravity" checkup occurs.
The article I linked wasn't pointing to the " marks or Tomcat server, but the leading "-" itself as a symbol which a domain cannot start with (but can contain).

I apologize it took so long, but the list is now fixed and all 146 instances of domains beginning with a dash are excluded from the lists (and all future lists).
I was trying to troubleshoot an issue with my pihole-FTL daemon crashing about 1x/day. I ran across this article and took a look inside of my blocklists. Lo and behold, there it was:

I'm going to keep, but disable, your "all porn" blocklist for now. I'd edit the list myself, but a subsequent update would put them back.
Yes, I realize you made the list(s) as a PoC. I just thought I'd bring this to your attention.
