I need to add that lately, bots in global mode with the latest SDK
have shown annomalies which I consider quite serious. Apparently, AW
does not.

1) caretaker bots in global mode have had spontaneous ejections from
their own world, giving an error message reason 467 not welcome.
ActiveWorlds responded:

----
RC_NOT_WELCOME (467) is sent in the following cases:
* World not running
* Citizen without enter rights (in response to world attributes
change)
* Citizen without enter rights (when entering the world)
* Bot without bot right or without enter and without caretaker
----

This seems acceptable to AWI..

My comment is that "World not running" has nothing to do with "Not
welcome" or the rights to enter or remain in a world. In fact, world
not running has its own reason code: 489 World not running.

My bots, and possibly others, rely on the reason codes. When my bot
gets a not welcome or an ejected message, it DOES NOT log back into
that world automatically, out of respect for the world owner.

This means that if AWI does not fix this reason code mistake,
caretaker bots will possibly get disconnected with the wrong reason
(not-welcome) and not log back in. This is now happenning in an Dutch
universe, and is very unwelcome....

Other error codes are also being sent to caretaker bots in global
mode: reason 92 "No tourists". This has been acknowledged by AWI as
not acceptable.

I hope AWI takes these bug-alerts seriously.
