There are no AreaTags referenced in sbbsecho.ini

Duplicate AreaTags would be a problem. I imagine that would cause problems for
the Area File (areas.bbs) parsing in SBBSecho too. Are you sure the AreaTags
(aka EchoTags) are actually duplicates? Can you paste the relevant lines from
your area file?

SBBSecho is not actually domain-aware, so there's currently no concept of
"FidoNet" versus "Othernet" in SBBSecho - they're all just zones. And it's
possible for a single area/echo to be linked to multiple zones. So you can't
really say an area is a "FidoNet" area when it's also gated to "SomeOtherNet",
just as an example.

So... yeah. I'm clearly duplicate AreaTags would be a problem, but I think
they'd be a problem in other areas of SBBSecho as well. So, I'm curious if you
actually have that configuration happening there.
