[Tinymux] Odd problem

[Stephen Dennis]

Make sure you have the disk quota for it, but first, I would save all
the files in game/data off somewhere else like so:

  cd game/data
  mkdir save01
  cp * save01

Then, open netmux.db and see if it was chopped. Is the attribute names
section there? Is it some special character that is mis-understood as
the end of the file? If we can solve the mystery of why, it will be
with the logs and a careful inspection of your netmux.db.

It could be a lack of disk quota on your last @shutdown. It could be a
special character that was fixed in TinyMUX 2.3. Are you running the
latest version of 2.3? Which minor version are you running? We can
look at the CHANGES file for a bug that might explain this.

If netmux.db can't be recovered, then look at netmux.db.prev,
netmux.db.new, netmux.db.old, etc. and pick one that is the most
recent. Try to pull a flatfile out with one of those.

If you have a backup, now decide which database you want to continue
with. That is, which database has more stuff or more of the right
stuff in it.

Load cleanly by deleting netmux.pag and netmux.dir and re-loading one
of the flatfiles.
