I followed up on SBJ and it does work correctly. On my system SBL, SBJ and 
SEXYZ all work fine. It is only Doormud and Trivia that do not. I suspect they 
were both written with the same doorkit.
I noticed a thread in the forums on the doormud site about the same problem. 
One of your users was compliling his own copy of SBBS from CVS. At the end of 
June, 2005 his doormud stopped working also. The author of doormud was not 
able to find the problem. The sysop had to change over to the door32 version. 
They were not able to get the xtrn.dat version to work again after one of the 
CVS updates.
