[srvx-devel] bugs to fix for 1.0

[Entrope <en...@us...>]

Now that Jedi killed most of the bugs in proxy checking, we've only
got a few bugs left to fix before I'd feel good about releasing a
final 1.0 release:

 * vsend_message() sometimes does "$b" wrong at the end of a line.  I
   have a comment about it at helpfile.c:127, but didn't figure out
   exactly why it sometimes makes 'b' visible at the start of the
   second line.

 * timeq bug; sometimes seems to forget events if they happen long
   enough in the future.  No idea why this happens.

 * Ideally, we could make ProxyCheck support a '.*' matcher to go
   with its '..' matcher, and it could search at different offsets
   forward.  This will complicate the code, but let us do better
   checks for things like HTTP proxies and Code Red.

 * Seldon reports that sometimes "/msg authserv handleinfo whoever"
   will report that "whoever is on vacation." even if they've authed
   since going on vacation and logging off.

 * IP hostmatching bugs - easy enough to fix; we can kill parse_ipmask
   and replace that bit of code in user_matches_glob() with an sprintf
   of their IP into a buffer and then a compare

 * All NickServ searches return no hits.  I think I know why.

I'll work on the last three -- I expect they'll be easy to fix
(tonight).  The first two need more debugging.  Any takers to work on
them?  (The third we might be able to put off until 1.1.  Is it worth
taking chances in 1.0 for?)
