[IRCServices Coding] ircservices 5.0.6 possible bug...

[Aragon Gouveia]

Hi,

I've spotted something of some concern.  If ircservices' uplink dies (ircd
dies) causing ircservices to shutdown, some (possibly all) data that has not
yet been updated to disk is lost.

I first noticed it when I added a gzline which caused the ircd to core dump
(heh) and ircservices to consequently shutdown.  When I brought it all back
up the gzline was not recorded in operserv's database.  I then tried
registering a nick and killing the ircd.  When I brought it all back up, the
nickname was not registered.

Shutting services down gracefully via a SIGTERM or the shutdown command
doesn't have the same effect.  Please look into this...


Thanks,
Aragon
