[nos-bbs] again - can someone reproduce MM and/or MC index issue ?

[maiko at pcsinternet.ca]

The user has to have the SYSOP bit set in ftpusers.

THere were a couple of people on here that had issues with the index
needing rebuild after running the MM and/or MC commands. I think Charles
or his group was one of them, but I don't remember the other folks.

If they can reproduce the problem, and let me know how, that would be 
great.
