I started noticing a lot of instances where sbbsctrl would crash when I tried
replying to a message with my reader.  It seemed to happen with any message
(including regular messages).  It didn't happen all the time, but a fairly high
frequency (maybe 3 out of 4 times).  I have reverted back to some earlier
binaries I was using for now.

Some time ago I had tried building the Synchronet code in debug mode for
instances like this where I see crashes, but I wasn't fully successful in
getting it to build.  Perhaps at some point I'll try again.
