What bugs should I be seeing? I'm running 1.3.90 (without modules),
compiled with 2.5.8 a.out. My system is pretty heavily loaded; it runs
a mud, so it gets a good amount of regular network traffic. The only
problems I've seen are the occasional "Socket destroy delayed", but that's
apparently not a problem.
