Since I've changed rslight to use 'listgroup' when polling a remote
server, I find that synchronet does not send a correct listing for a
group when doing so.

I need to work this out as I want to continue synchronet support. I
guess first is to try to identify this in rslight and handle it, but
I've submitted patches to synchronet in the past, so I may look into why
this happens for that end also.

Anyway, for now the section 'dovenet' on www.rocksolidbbs.com is frozen
in time until I have time to work on it.

So it seems that 'listgroup' data is only built daily in synchronet,
which can be a problem as new articles come in and listgroup does not
list them. Not sure the thinking behind that, but we can work around it
for now.

I'll dig deeper to see if I'm actually correct, or if I have an issue
with my particular install. It's time to upgrade anyway so if I decided
to dig further into the code, it will be the latest code.

Ok, I found the actual problem Not a Synchronet or RSLight problem.

I was running Synchronet in VirtualBox and forwarding a port from a
router. When accessed outside VB, the problem exists. When accessed
inside the VM, no problem.

I've moved it to a KVM and the problem is gone.

Still not sure what the VB issue is.
