[urbit] ~zod remains down, attempting to rescue event log

[Curtis Yarvin]

We know what the problem is. Or rather, we know who the problem is. The
problem is someone who wrote the following line of code:

lar_u.syn_w = u3r_mug((c3_w)tar_d);

Note that a c3_w is a uint32_t and a c3_d is a uint64_t. Note also that
u3r_mug takes a noun, which works great if c3_w is less than (1 << 31).
For example, if ~zod has less than 15 million events and an event log under
2GB...

We think we're aware of the identity of this individual. Unfortunately,
some reports indicate that he's fled the country. We've put out an
Interpol warrant and will send another update when we know more.

My quick git-blame chain traced that line to the following commit, actually:

Alright, I'm assuming control of the project since Curtis is clearly unfit
to lead. Sticking interpol onto someone for your own mistakes? For
shame! The appropriate authorities have been notified.

there are 3 other uses of 'u3r_mug((c3_w)tar_d)' in the same file, you
might want to look at those too.
(sorry if blindingly obvious, I can never tell)

Breach has been deemed unavoidable. We'll let you all know when it's done.

We're not going to merge the test branch until the new libuv gets more
testing. There's nothing on test that is actually breaching, so there's no
reason to rush it now.
