As I remember it, the problem was that the code in file-pr.c called punt
(for things like missing fields etc), but punt calls exit. (So if a
required field was missing, the PR wasn't created.) I had to modify
the punt code so it wouldn't exit the server if file-pr had an error, but
simply return to the main loop of the server.

It's probably good that you haven't seen my code, or you would had more
"crap code" to delete. :-)
