 O> Is this a bug or how do I use @me? The perlhooks documentation says

 O> 5) on_handshake()
 O> - for server called after receiving remote addresses (before addr is sent)
 O> - best for hide_aka and present_aka logic :-)
 O> - return non-empty string to abort session with that reason
 O> otherwise, if @me is defined present @me as our akas


 O> The error message is from perlhooks.c

 O> if ((me = perl_get_av("me", FALSE)) != NULL) {
 O> FTN_ADDR addr;
 O> int n = 0, N = av_len(me) + 1;
