Ok, <Boring excuses> - I'm working two jobs and have had little or no time to look at the ANA bug that prevented it from running in the server. - At the time I really couldn't reproduce the bug on my own and without having a proper gdb console freezed at an occurrence of the bug there wasn't much I could do on the debugging side (Soliton gave me a couple of backtraces but there wasn't much I could do with them.) </excuses> I apologize for being disruptive in any way. If I take it correctly, it is not so much that it needs a lot of work but that it needs some serious head scratching bug hunting. Most likely the bug is not in the ANA library itself but on the wesnoth-side implementation of the network API that uses ANA. I want to get it fully functional accross the board: I'll have some time this January to work on it and I'll be popping by IRC too. If anybody wishes to take a look at it for the time being please feel free to email me. I'll try to see if I can work on it on sundays.
