Just in case the bot code is introducing a new problem --

Are you certain you're getting disconnected when using the regular viewer?
I've not had that happen. What I do have happen now and then is that I get
pegged in place, unable to move, which looks a lot like a disconnect.

There's a blob of code that does an early out in send_agent_update() if
the teleport state isn't TELEPORT_NONE. This effectively swallows outbound
movement events once teleport goes active, and the state doesn't seem to
get reset when a teleport fails. I haven't been able to reproduce it with
the debugger attached to verify yet.
