   I am actually playing with the 95.12d version under Wheezy now, and still   
   getting the crashing when saving messages in the FSE (so far, only to echomail   
   areas -- we'll see if this one makes it out before crashing causes me to have   
   to reboot the BBS server).  Otherwise, it looks like the word wrapping in the   
   FSE seems to have been improved :)
