The JS bbs.logout() method just calls the C++ sbbs_t::logout() method (in
src/sbbs3/logout.cpp). There are several conditions in this method that will
cause it to apparently "do nothing" (e.g. if there is not apparently "current
user" logged-in). I suggest you look at this file and maybe try to ascertain
which condition for early-return might be triggered in your case:
