Hmm. Boards are only removed in two situations, and thats when
the Board_save_board routine is called, and there no messages on it,
according to the num_of_messages array, and in Board_reset_board(), right
at the end. Board_reset_board is only called if the board file is
corrupt or full, you'll get a syslog error.
I'd recommend looking to make sure that the directory your boards
are in (default it lib/etc) has writable permissions, otherwise, i'd put
some debugging messages in Board_save_board probably, to see where its
defaulting to unlinking the file.
Or, you could install my dynamic boards patch :) Its at Georges
circle mud site, with a lot of other neat things.
