   Hello Nicholas!

My offensive hacked version is a Proof Of Concept (POC) to determine if this
can be fixed.

Does adding in some code to respond to MODE READER solve the issue with Pan,
Knode? YES it does.

the initial V2.0.0.1 beta takes what it needs to do to make this work. Nothing
more.

A production version 2.0.0 will have something that fits more inline with the
code base, that I started with 1.3 from the SF site.

It took a great deal of digging and futz, and var dumps to see how this is
being parsed for input... it is doing things different than what I would do if
I wrote it, but thats just a subjective call that I would do it differently.. I
see where the method is coming from, again, I even with that understanding
wouldn't do it that way.

Since I know what its doing, I can write something similar to the way other
commands work, and add in some other things I want, mainly for giggles.

I might try to compile it on a Pi, but I'd have to find a spare one to use... I
really wish there was a decent VM setup for Pi's.. the whole QEMU mess is just
that a mess.. too bad VMWware doesn't add ARMHF support... oh well.
