It is fairly new.  It has only been around for a couple of years maybe?
magickabbs.com

There are at least two other systems, including the author's, that are
running it that I know of.

Synchronet did not cause that, if I remember correctly.  I believe it was
another software.  At any rate, if it was Synchronet it has been fixed.
Mark Lewis and I did some testing with my two systems, one Synchronet one
not, and it appeared that it was happing somewhere downstream from me on a
non-Synchronet board.  I did not hear which software it was running, though.

That is a good priority.

That is very interesting.  I am not sure if it is possible with linux or
not.  You would think it could be, since raspbian is meant to run on an arm
machine.

You're welcome!
