   Shared avatar issues - corrupted JSON da

   NOTE: Synchronet msgeditor master/869dac47e   
   Despite the fact that my AVAT-IN event seems to fire without warning, I have   
   yet to   
   have received any avatars via the sharing feature.  It's possible that based   
   on the   
   data I have in my SYNCDATA sub that might be expected behavior, but that is to   
   also   
   say I have around 2900 messages in that sub but nearly 2000 messages in a row   
   spit   
   out parse errors on JSON data.  That's TLDR ahead of time.   
      
   I am running this command to rescan the message base for avatars:   
      
   `./jsexec avatars.js import=DOVE-SYNCDATA -ptr=0 -all`   
      
   The initial parsing of the older messages goes fine, the initial logs (edited   
   for   
   brevity) go smoothly until msg #109:   
      
   ```   
   Opening msgbase /sbbs/data/subs/dove-syncdata   
   Importing msg #1 from Weatherman: parsed 4 avatarssuccess   
   Importing msg #3 from RickV: parsed 0 avatarssuccess   
   ...   
   Importing msg #108 from Vela025: parsed 5 avatarssuccess   
   Importing msg #109 from Dark Angel: !invalid or missing JSON block, length: 1,   
   begin: undefined, end: undefined   
   FAILED   
   Importing msg #110 from digital man: !invalid or missing JSON block, length: 1,   
   begin: undefined, end: undefined   
   ```   
      
   That parsing error repeats in my logs all the way until message #1801:   
      
   ```   
   mporting msg #1800 from digital man: !invalid or missing JSON block, length: 1,   
   begin: undefined, end: undefined   
   FAILED   
   Importing msg #1801 from Fercho: !invalid or missing JSON block, length: 1,   
   begin:   
   undefined, end: undefined   
   FAILED   
   Importing msg #1803 from Nelgin: parsed 14 avatarssuccess   
   ```   
      
   We see a lot of "parsed # avatarsuccess" until we get to message #1955, which   
   according to logs is a message from me, and an error is thrown (maybe   
   preventing   
   .bin files being written to text/avatars at end of process?):   
      
   ```   
   Importing msg #1954 from StingRay: parsed 1 avatarssuccess   
   !JavaScript  /sbbs/exec/load/avatar_lib.js line 70: TypeError: netaddr is   
   undefined   
   Importing msg #1955 from HM Derdoc: /sbbs/repo/exec/avatars.js executed in 0.77   
   seconds   
   !Module (avatars.js) set exit_code: 1   
   ```   
      
   I'm not sure if the TypeError is from msg #1954 or #1955, but that's where it   
   bails. I guess I could see if I can get that to fail more gracefully, probably   
   could, but   
   I guess if it's a synchronet or dovenet data issue it's probably better to   
   reach outbefore i implement a hack for it.   
      
   Anyone else not seeing any shared avatars lately?  (I actually have none, but   
   I've   
   only been up and running ~2 months)   
      
   thanks,   
   derdoc
