[IRCServices Coding] Services 5.0a21 problems

Services appears to be losing the operserv oper/admin list. When it starts 
up it seems to ignore or throw away the current contents of the database 
and the entries have to be added back in. 

The only error in the log is:
[Feb 16 17:11:19 2002] IRC Services 5.0a21 starting up
[Feb 16 17:11:19 2002] database/version4: Read error on nick.db
[Feb 16 17:24:14.156110 2002] debug: Loading module `nickserv/main'
[Feb 16 17:24:14.170455 2002] database/version4: Read error on nick.db
[Feb 16 17:24:14.170563 2002] debug: Successfully loaded module 
`nickserv/main'

Not sure why there is a read error, but NickServ seems to operate 
successfully regardless of it. I guess it may have some bearing on the 
operserv list bug. 

As a suggestion, could the database error reporting be made provide a 
little more information as to which failure occurred. E.g. read error on %s 
by currentfunction.
