I've switched to the 1.0b5 compile, and am getting the same results, so I'm
guessing it's not JamNNTPd at all.

Very good point. At least I'm getting all this information while it's _not_
open to the public. :)

I'm really starting to doubt the compile is bad. I think either the author
modified the JAM code to benefit things/features he wanted to add to Mystic, or
something was accidently changed while trying to add something else.

I might just test this by making another VM, and making a point system with
just JamNNTPd and HPT, with no BBS software in there. If that works the way it
should, it's definitely issues lying in the BBS software.

Thanks! I'll give them a shot, but I'm still predicting the same results,
unfortunately.
