Rushfan! I've missed you, and it's great to hear from you. Hope all is well.

I've been migrating my 4.30 stuff forward. After a few wild rides with Grok, I
think I've got it down to a process. I plan to track any code changes I make
and get them back to you. For example, Grok found an issue for me today that
corrected a problem. When I go into Transfers, show the directory listing (*),
it immediately crashed when I selected a directory. This was the commit entry I
prepared:

Fix directory selection crash when using * listing

The page-break and end-of-list selection loops in dirlist.cpp
iterated a()->dirs().size() while indexing into a()->udir[].
When the current conference contained fewer directories than
the full dirs() table, the out-of-bounds access disconnected
the session. Bound both loops by a()->udir.size() instead.

I'll move this to the appropriate sub shortly, but do you have any free cycles
to exchange mail directly about setting up Fido and other stuff?
