Alrighty, I was foolin' around trying to set up Alpha Colony 6 (and failing
miserably) The game would lock up, so I'd just remote to the bbs machine and
shut it down.  I tried a regular setup and then netfossil.  Somehow, things
started going wacky.  The sbbsctrl process starts running at about 80-90%. 
However, I am able to log on still and it pauses every now and again.  I log
off, but I still show up as connected via telnet.  (Syncterm does not display
the disconnected box like it normally does when you log off) So I start looking
at the log files and the ftp log keeps repeating "0492 FTP Server sockets
closed"  for about 10 minutes until I stopped the ftp server.  After I stopped
the server, sbbsctrl is locked up, but no longer running the cpu up.  The ftp
log looks like this:

01:42:06  0000 Recycle semaphore file (c:\sbbs\ctrl\ftpsrvr.rec) detected
01:42:06  0964 Server socket closed (0 sockets in use) from line 4486
01:42:30  0492 !ERROR 38 accepting connection
01:42:30  0492 FTP Server sockets closed

(recycling due to changes in the door setup)

Anyways, it was locked up so I killed the process and saved Doc Watson's file
with the dump and stuff that error reporting sends to Microsoft.  

I can't seem to reproduce it however.. :(  If you want to see some logs or the
Watson dump, let me know and I'll set it up.  Oh yeah, it runs fine now that I
restarted sbbsctrl..

Thanks,
