   MergeNodeLists picking "wrong" FidoNet n

   Hello g00r00!   
      
   I hope all is well with you, and thank you for the recent prealpha releases --   
   very nice ones!   
      
   However, I just noticed that for some reason, the MUTIL v1.12 A47 2021/06/28   
   MergeNodeLists function appears to pick the "wrong" (i.e. not the latest)   
   FidoNet nodelist.   
      
   This has probably been so for a while, so is not specific to v1.12 A47   
   2021/06/28.   
      
   It appears to select NODELIST.360 instead of the latest, NODELIST.176.   
      
   My mutil.ini has the following stanza in it:   
      
   [MergeNodeLists]   
           strip_down = true   
           strip_private = false   
           nodefile=/mnt/bbs/echomail/nodelists/FSXNET   
           nodefile=/mnt/bbs/echomail/nodelists/NODELIST   
           nodefile=/mnt/bbs/echomail/nodelists/micronet   
           nodefile=/mnt/bbs/echomail/nodelists/scinet

   If you try to browse 2:201/137 in the nodelist browser, do you see my phone   
   number (correct) or not (old/incorrect)?   
      
   I have published the two files here in case you would need them:   
      
   https://scbbs.nsupdate.info/files/NODELIST.360

   Many thanks in advance!
