There was a slight bug in the previous 2.1 release.  Any cores or
installation scripts FTPed before February 16 will have this bug.

The easy fix:
  1) @chmod $ansi_utils:show_who_listing to a wizard.
    This won't hurt anything and will actually speed it up a little anyway
    but the code will still technically be incorrect (even thought it will
    work).

The correct fix:
  1) Change line 1 of $login:notify from:
         set_task_perms(caller_perms());
     to:
         (caller != $ansi_utils) && set_task_perms(caller_perms());

  2) Change part of line 116 in $ansi_utils:show_who_listing from:
         (!valid(caller))
     to:
         (caller==$login)

Sorry about that, I think it's the only one.
