[IRCServices] Services 5.0.21 released

[Dave Taylor]

I noticed whenever services is delinked form its hub server, it stays as an
active process on the shell, but it never attempts to re-link to the
network... any chance we can have a timed re-connect attempt (like 99 tries
and then it terminates itself or whatever, or just infinite retries until it
re-links...  Or if that doesn't work, then just have it shut down
automatically once the link is broken... I have a crontab running that
senses when Services is not running, and if it were to shut down on a fail
connect, then my Crontab would keep restarting the services until they
managed to re-link to the network)

The fact that they just sit there and won't accept a /connect from th server
side, but also won't re-link on their own, means that someone has to
manually kill them in linux and restart them....

Good idea?  Bad idea?

What do you think?

The other mirrors should have it shortly.

     This release is just a cumulation of the minor compilation/startup
issues reported in 5.0.20.  There are no functional changes in this release
(if there are, it means I screwed up somewhere).
