These came about one every 10 seconds... not a 'flood' but enough to
annoy.  However, it appears that a major upgrade I just did to the MUD
(over 2 months in coding updates in a new binary, that I was waiting for
the right time and apwipe to upload) can take this assault and not flinch.

But it can still be a problem... perhaps it should be looked into.
