One monday leads to another...
Hey,

Sorry I've been out for so long! I was mentoring with my old high school's
Robotics team like three weeks ago... then they made nationals two weeks
ago... and then I got caught up doing all kinda of !dbmail stuff last week.

I'll have to find a link to pictures and/or stats. It's a really nice robot,
especially given how it came in *dead last* in its division :-P

So I'm back this week, and will get to hunting down the parsing bug and what I
suspect is a bug with reading in nul characters improperly. Basically I think
we'll just need to switch to fread in read_header and insert_messages so that
we get the number of characters read returned to us instead of using strlen
which stops at the first nul.

More on this later in the week!

This seems like a good plan. I was wondering how to use strlen() with
the NUL characters and couldn't figure it out.. Because it shouldn't
work..

We'll be looking forward to hearing more from you :)
