A user at our site noticed that znol off was preventing her from being
able to receive messages though she was still locatable. Closer
inspection showed that znol off is removing the wrong subscriptions.
In my case, when I type znol off, all my class login subscriptions are
removed except for one, and three additional subscriptions are deleted
including message personal %me%.
Having looked through the code to znol, it is unclear to me whether
this bug is really in znol or whether its somewhere in the library or
server code that handles unsubscribing. Sorry I don't have time to
look into this in more detail.
I've enclosed a typescript that could be useful. Thanks. BTW, in all
other regards, zephyr 2.0.1 has been working well for us. (I didn't
bother to install zephyr 2.0.2 since the change was so minor and since
most of our machines don't support the extended regular expressions
anyway.)
