subject: bug in UNIX version of NetMgr

Hi All,

The UNIX port of NetMgr has a pretty severe showstopping bug! ;) 
Unfortunately it seems to cause memory to get so messed up that I can't do
a backtrace from gdb.  Maybe someone running Linux (or a non-FreeBSD
UNIX-like OS) might have better luck debugging this.  On my system it
segfaults when IsCurrentArea() returns...

Regards
Andrew
