   Hi all,   
      
   Noticed something today that seems to be an unexpected change, after a    
   system (git) update a couple of days ago.   
      
   I sometimes use the ;log command while logged in as the Sysop, to see    
   what previous callers that day may have been up to.   
      
   For example, me logging in to retrieve a QWK packet:

   I'm used to seeing only an entry for callers doing things like that...     
      
   But since that last upgrade, I'm seeing things like this in the log:

   Those are obvious bot/timeout connects, but they never used to show up    
   in the log that way.  Is anyone else noticing this, and/or have any idea    
   why it's just started happening?   
      
   Thanks for info!
