Yeh that was kinda funny.  One full year about 1.08 came out, 1.09 was
released and the Win2K UDP thread drop was the only major bug fixed.
About six months before 1.09, we were chatting with Blizzard and asked
why it had never been fixed.  The Battle.Net programmer said "If I
knew what was wrong and how to fix it, I would."

That was surprising to us since we had sent no less than 8 detailed
reports in describing exactly the cause of the error and what to do to
fix it.

So this time, Adron and Skywing not only included a description and
discussion of the problem, but reverse engineered the Starcraft code
and converted it back to C, and then fixed it before giving to the
programmer.  So all they had to do was paste it in their source and
recompile!

>From 1.08 to 1.09 though, we had to rely on SCEnhancements, which is a
product of Skywing's, with derivates from Adron's research.  SCE also
has a public version which includes a lot of nice chat enhancements
for battle.net.

We're not quite done patching it up to 1.09b though, since we're so
busy studying Warcraft III Beta and finding bugs there.
