If you are not running your BBS as root, update and recompile now.

NOTE: Remember, RH9 users using the new threads - the default should use

smb_hfield_append_str() used for creating and appending ASCIIZ header fields.
These functions handle the string-length calculation automatically.

years. You might just find *your* name here. :-)

(ar_exp handles a NULL user pointer correctly)
This bug caused addfiles chk_ar() calls to all fail, causing no DIZ's to be
imported.

* Added options to 'DEBUG' to assist with debugging, 'U' lists all users stored
  in the server's memory, and 'C' is for channels.
* Don't accept interserver NICK commands for nicks that already exist.
* Increased the default outbound socket timeout from 3 seconds to 6 in the
  hopes that it'll fix some of these 'autoconnect isn't working' problems.

* Ignore a SJOIN for a nick if the nick is already on the channel.

QWK authorization.

any available QWK uplink.  Switch logic checking on QWK master to check for QWK
validity first.
Bug found by Merlin, thanks!

  (i.e. assume the console is an oper and privy to all oper notices) as per
  DigitalMan's relentless nagging ;)  Removed redundant log() calls because of
  this.
* Don't allow servers to connect which have the password set as '*' in the
  N:Line.  This is useful for leaf servers to connect out to their QWK hubs.
* reintroduce_nick() is a function which re-introduces a nick to the network
  from the 'hub' side after the leaf has done something bad (i.e. colliding
  forwards, or forwards global kill)  It ensures that the nick is re-joined to
  any channels and is given correct modes (both channel and user.)
* Thus, reintroduce a nick after a global kill, don't squit the offending
  server.
* Reduce the scope of a SQUIT from a leaf server to only allow disconnections
  to servers connected to it locally.
* Don't allow leaf servers to use the intraserver CONNECT command.
* Only allow U:Lined servers to use the intraserver AKILL command.
* Pass along user AWAY messages on initial server-to-server synchronization.
* SJOIN: (All of these fixes *should* fix the nasty "MODE -oooooo" bug and
          other synchronization issues once and for all.  Keep your fingers
          crossed.)
   - Don't bounce modes if an incoming SJOIN originated from a non-local
     server.
   - Parse SJOIN members appropriately so that they're opped/deopped according
     to the TS.  Pass on the new members list.
   - Synchronize the channel TS.  Force the created TS to an integer.
* Surprise, more 'var' cleanup.

imported from the inbound directory, so the "LOCAL" attribute bit has no
significance.

Created system.beta_version property, string if alpha or beta version.
Versions built from cvs will now be labled as "alpha".

Fix /DIE back the way it was before last commit.

static service/server type modules (e.g. ircd.js) for maximum uptime.

fixed-length header fields in one block (time is a fixed-length).
freadstr() automatically terminates the read string as the maximum length.
