I am actually playing with the 95.12d version under Wheezy now, and still
getting the crashing when saving messages in the FSE (so far, only to echomail
areas -- we'll see if this one makes it out before crashing causes me to have
to reboot the BBS server).  Otherwise, it looks like the word wrapping in the
FSE seems to have been improved :)
