   Yes, I was trying to unwind my UTF-8 setup and get back to straight iso-8859,   
   which failed miserably.  My Apple devices will only post UTF-8 - so I've   
   restored my xlats and back to UTF-8 reading and posting.   
      
   Thus my box is good again:

   Well,  I started off just adding in TLS, however; after working with the code   
   for a week, I realized just how much I could improve the flow.  So I went nuts   
   and started getting rid polling loops, which I hate and unreliable with a TLS   
   session. Building a polling loop with select() is bad practice, select is   
   supposed to allow a thread to sleep while waiting for something to do,   
   although it has been used by many a program to is it something is ready to   
   do.  Years of working with high performance computing has taught me that you   
   only need CPU time when there is something to do, otherwise you just waste   
   cycles.  So, I continue to work on the code, looking for improvements in flow.   
      
   As for an ebuild, that would need someplace to host the source and someone   
   crazy enough to make one. :)
