BTW your patch numbering is horrible.


It is still easy to crash the client by simply holding the return
key pressed in the connect dialog:

chris@max:~> civclient -t trident -P none
2: lost connection to server
2: letzte Mitteilung 2mal wiederholt
2: letzte Mitteilung 2mal wiederholt (insgesamt 4 Wiederholungen)
2: letzte Mitteilung 4mal wiederholt (insgesamt 8 Wiederholungen)

civclient: clinet.c:320: input_from_server: Zusicherung »fd ==

civserver:

When the user enters an empty password, she is asked to confirm it instead
of being rejected. The confirm step should be skipped in this case IMHO.

What's the reason for the redundancy with

user_num=2

in the database file?

--------------------------------------------------------------

I've created a user account with a password containing german umlauts.
When I start the client with LANG=fr I cannot enter the umlauts (no "*"
appear).

I got a
Gdk-WARNING **: locale not supported by C library
when civclient started. Is this the reason for it? Is this a problem?

With LANG= it worked.

Enjoy,
