Thanks, that's a more specific clue than we've had before, and I think
explains why nobody else could reproduce the bug. You need a
rate_exceeded event to trigger it.
I'm now betting this bug was introduced by the changed handling of KOD
packets in Daniel's refactoring of the protcol engine. That tells me
where to look.
I'll put some attention on this immediately. I think it is quite likely
that it will be trivial to fix once I have identified the exact defect.
