-
- The <Output Flushed> is SERVER generated. Not client generated.
- It is technically possible to overflow gbII's buffer, but it would
- lock up the client since it would be stuck in a read call.
-
- The server-client protocol calls for every line to be newline
- terminated and at present has kept lines to less than 1024 bytes.
- Except for map/orbit data but the client handles these differently
- so as to avoid any problems.
-
- The server should write() the output to the person's file descriptor
- instead of putting the <Output Flushed>. I've just never taken the
- time to fix this.
