Ok, I'm an idiot.

I added to the $login:connect verb.

And the code had a bug in it.

Now, we have a database that we'd *REALLY* like to keep (yes, we have a
backup, but a *LOT* got done in one day), but nobody can log in to it.

We have attempted: Open the database from emacs to alter the source, but
this had no effect when the database is restarted.  Presumably, both source
and byte-code are stored in the database???

Any ideas...?

This should have worked just fine.  Try it again and be absolutely sure that
you're telling the server to start from the correct (modified) version of the
database.

This technique, by the way, is the only way to accomplish this sort of thing in
the current release of the server.  The next release will include a better back
door for archwizards.
