Found the cause of that bug. There's a subscribeCheck() in
fidoconf/src/afixcmd.c and fidoconf/src/linked.c. The one in linked.c
checks the write/read levels but it's not used by subscribeAreaCheck(). The
other one in afixcmd.c is used but doesn't check the levels. It's suprising
that nobody has found that nasty bug yet.

More to come ...

Markus
