DB files sent off list.

Since I managed to develop a workaround for the problem to upgrade the 
version running on my production network, I now have the patched 5.0a24 
running on 5.0a23 db files on a test machine here and producing the same 
error, so if you need me to do any more tests/patches let me know.

Current output from gdb is:

Starting program: /home/markh/services/bin/./ircservices
