[Verse-dev] Connector

The problem is that the Connector you are using was written for Release 
3 and in release 3 node id zero is reserved. In release 4 it will change 
and node id 0 will no longer be reserved. But then again R4 is not yet 
final.

So either you change your server to reserve id 0 for now, or you you 
port Connector a bit closer to R4 by changing line 495 in co_vn_handle.c 
from
                        verse_send_node_create(0, type, 0);
to:
                        verse_send_node_create(-1, type, 0);

Obviously i will port Connector and all my other apps for R4 by the time 
it is out.

Cheers
