New message scan works for Babble>, not for Dexter> (probably more errata, also)

Though I am now able to execute a new scan, and have it start reading the new messages in the correct direction, the scan is failing to find new messages (1 or more than one, so it's not a < vs. <= error or anything of the sort) in random subs. For now it's managing to pick up on new messages in Babble> without a problem, but when I've added a new message to Dexter> it'll fly right by it. Need to do more testing and see where this issue might be at.

As can be seen in the following output:

Got topegrplobby in user.cursub

Lobby>

it looks like this might actually not be a bug in the code, but some sort of bullshit going on where the message scan pointers got horked somehow. I'll have to post on DOVE-Net and try to get more details on that. :P
