+<PRE>><i>I was playing with the httpd/dbaccess/xml-export module, and IE6's
+</I>><i>usually annoying XML syntax checking pointed something out. Where
+</I>><i>there's an ampersand in a last_quit field, it replaces it with
+</I>><i>"&amp-" as opposed to the correct "&amp;", which causes IE to choke
+</I>>:<i>). The context is as follows:

+</I>><i><nickinfo>
+</I>><i><nick>[nick]</nick>
+</I>><i>...
+</I>><i><last_quit>Quit: Peace &amp- Protection 4.06</last_quit>
+</I>><i>...
+</I>><i><nickinfo>
+</I>
+ Okay, that was a stupid one... an off-by-one error in a memcpy() size
+argument. Fixed, thanks; the patch is as follows:

+ This is because the export-xml module can't know that the encryption
+module (if one is in use) uses a null character as a string terminator.
+In point of fact, the MD5 encryption module stores the passwords as 16 raw
+bytes rather than 32 hex characters, so null characters can very possibly
+appear in the middle of a password. Thus, passwords are stored as raw
+buffers of data (properly XML-encoded).
+
+><i>Also, on my #chat channel on the v4 installation, Voice is set to
+</I>><i>level 0, so everyone is voiced when they join. However, when my AOPs
+</I>><i>join #chat on the v5 net, they get set +hq, and normal users don't
+</I>><i>get anything, which is rather odd (possibly to do with me not running
+</I>><i>the xOP module or something...). I'm continuing to investigate this
+</I>><i>one.
+</I>
+ You should probably look into what check_access_cumode()
+(modules/chanserv/access.c) is doing; that part of the code has been
+thoroughly redone and gotten almost no testing. I'm not sure what would
+cause the autovoice level to get set to 0.
