  41 I've seen this before here on SlashNET.  I think it has to do with StatServ code.
  42 When I compile without it, the problem goes away.  When I compile with it, after
  43 big periods of netsplits, services just ghost off.  The process keeps running,
  44 but they ping timeout.  I've not had the time to do real debugging on it, and
  45 I wouldn't want to do live debugging of it on SlashNET either...

  58 I've seen that too.  But that isn't related to the first issue.  There is some
  59 issue with the nickname-number randomizer.  It likes to repeat.  I've seen
  60 collisions of that before.  Again, I've not had the time to look into it, as
  61 it isn't really a big issue in my opinion.
