    Added over/underflow protection of 16-bit user fields (e.g. timeon, posts, etc) in adjustuserrec() - as reported by Nelgin, the finder and reporter of bugs. 32-bit fields were protected, but not 16-bit fields, so they could/would
    "wrap around" (e.g. after exceed 65535).
    I did not add protection for 8-bit integer wrap as there's only one (leech) and that's not relevant/used these days.

    Treat every login failure with no password available as unique

    When loginFailure() is called with NULL for the password argument, that indicates there was no password available (e.g. an aborted login attempt) - treat each of these as a unique (not duplicate) failed-login attempt. This'll trigger ban/filter thresholds sooner for clients that hammer servers and disconnect mid-login.

    The "DOS" ARS keyword was always evaluating to false, on all platforms, for the C version of chk_ar(), which is used for populating JS *_area objects and for the User.compare_ars() implementation.

    Unfortunately, the startup (sbbs.ini) "NO_DOS" option is not recognized here (yet), so it'll report true (e.g. for Win64 or Linux systems with DOSemu) even if/when the NO_DOS option is set.

    Implement the same lock-retry logic/limit in putuserdat().

    This partially reverts commit 03b84df85.

    I observed deadlocks on Linux attempting locks of user.tab on Samba share, which also deadlocked my Windows nodes. Interestingly, the Windows nodes
    never deadlocked on their own (after a week of testing) when using blocking locks.

    Double the frequency of lock retries - this has helped reduce the observed user.tab lock failures on Vertrauen.

    Fix parsing of field-separated birthdate strings with 4-digit year

    ... which is the format expected/required when entering or editing birthdates in the terminal server. So this is a pretty embarassingly bad bug introduced just before the v3.20b release to fix a less-severe bug with ecWeb new user registration (still) writing 2-digit years to the user.birthdate field. :-(

    Fix for issue #863

    I considerd making these get_birthdate field functions more tolerant of less strictly formatted strings (e.g. single-digit month or day), but decided to keep this change to just a fix for the issue at hand. These functions could be more robust to handle more variance in user/script input.

    Once the ctrl/node.exb was created (by anything), this error wouldn't happen. And it'd only be an issues for systems with text.dat's that included custom node status (NodeAction*) strings. Good catch Nelgin!
