- I mailed a 3.1 patch to John. We'll see how he manages.
-
- Things aren't perfect: I get reliable connections only if I enable
- chat debugging. Also, I couldn't get tstuu and uucp-over-TCP to work
- (but I didn't insist). Bottom line: Taylor lets me enlarge the
- g-protocol windows for higher throughput.
-
- The most troubling change I had to make involved several strings
-
- const char *zblahblah= NULL;
-
- that weren't initialized to NULL! All the executables bombed trying to
- open garbage paths. I fixed the problem by sprinkling explicit
- assignment to NULL at the beginning of the relevant functions. A
- compiler bug? Well, I ain't reporting it. So there.
