Hi Herbert and list,

- thank you for your help!

Unfortunately, I don't know how to use the info provided. Although I'm a 
skilled programmer for many years (assembler, C), I have no knowledge of how  
to apply patches and so on, as I've not worked in this area.

As I understand it I need the source for the server part (nxnode)? And then I 
should be able to apply the patch to the source file in question - by giving 
some commands? Then recompile and link...

Can someone guide me to a short how-to or some?
