I updated to this morning's build, but I'm still seeing some odd behavior with
bbs.msg_offset.  I first read a few messages (using the message read prompt)
and bbs.msg_offset was 0 for each message.  Then I tried the "Scan for messages
to you" in a different sub-board, and bbs.msg_offset had a non-zero value
(which I imagine was correct for that situation).  Then I came back to the
first sub-board I was in and read messages again with the Message read prompt,
and bbs.msg_offset was 2.  The message I was reading was the last message in
the sub-board, so that doesn't seem right.
