Subj : Synchronet v3.13a-Win32 bug effects some doors

Doors that rely on the accuracy of the "SBBSNODE" environment variable will
have a problem running on one or all Synchronet v3.13a-Win32 nodes *if* you set
the SBBSNODE environment variable in your system.
Examples of a door that could have problems include all XSDK doors (Synchronet
BBS List, Blackjack, and Match Maker), Domain Entertainment doors (Beast's
Domain, Poker, Dicewar, etc.), and Evan Elias' doors (DoorMUD and Tournament
Trivia).
The fix is to simply *remove* the SBBSNODE environment variable from your
system's environment variable list.
Synchronet sets this environment variable for you (to the correct value) when
running external programs, but v3.13a-Win32 will not over-ride existing values,
if the variable is already defined. If you have any external utilities that
require this environment variable (all the utilities that have been updated for
Syncrhonet v3 use the "SBBSCTRL" environment variable) - just set the variable
as needed or in a batch file when its needed.
Synchronet v3.13b-Win32 (no release date) will have this problem fixed, of
course. :-)
