• wee bit of a bug, I believe

    From Khelair@VERT/TINFOIL to All on Sunday, March 30, 2014 22:52:26
    I do believe I've detected a bit of a bug, I dare say. It seems that the inline, no frills text editing function is doing something funky when I attempt to quote a particular number of lines . . . Anyhoo, I saved the cuntpaste for whoever might like to see what I stumbled across. Interestingly enough, I found a bug in OpenBSD's console mouse copypasta code at the same time, as well. It made pulling that friggin' log of the error that happened a real pain in the arse. Regardless, I tried to quote a message in usenet via synchronet around the ~250 range; I quoted perhaps 5 lines. Unfortunately, the entirety of the message ended up being quoted. I reproduced it several times.
    Let me know if you'd like the full log; I'd cuntpaste it here, but that OpenBSD issue along with all of the spectacular and brilliant ozone-producing and arcing hardware failures that I've had in the middle of the night has made getting that file into this subsystem a real pain in the bunghole. I got no frigging graphix; console only, mang. Not sure when I'll have the cash to get graphics back, I'm having to get money wired by grudgingly pissed off and mentally deficient relatives in order to put food on the table right now, even while I'm working full time. :| Gotta love the wild west.
    Peace, love, and chicken grease!

    What the hell, now it's not letting me use an external
    editor to read in a text file and save it to the DOVE-Net echo.
    Grrrr. I'll research that one some more later; yesterday
    drained the crap out of me.
    I've been trying to get this to you for a bit now, not
    so sure I'll be able to anytime soon until I have the stress
    relieve to be able to sit down and study where this is happen-
    ing exactly. I'm going to see if I can find a standard smtp
    address where I can ship it to you at in the meantime. Sorry
    for the trouble. :P
