VK:
Hello! Am testing the code now. I found an access violation
when I startup yesterday's version of Kaboodle on the same LAN. That
is, I start the newest version in debug mode, then startup Kaboodle
on another PC using yesterday's release version. I don't expect the
old version to work, of course, but we can't have the new version
crash that easily. :)
Details are these: debugger takes me to NetworkLocalView.cpp,
into AddPC_or_Macintosh{}. The values for fields beneath m_pNIDTree
are mostly all "CXX0030: Error: expression cannot be evaluated".
Since we're now doing a pretty major overhaul to the NID
exchange mechanism, it seems like a good time to include some NID
validity checking as well. Older versions of Kaboodle do not have to
work, but they should not crash the newer versions. Going forward, we
may have to change the nature of the NID again, so now seems like a
good to to fortify that code against obvious format-related crashes.
