This  fix improves  the handling  of the  BITEARN NODES  file when  it is
accessed from a R/O minidisk, and corrects a minor problem in the network
tables generation process:
 
- Changes in the version of BITEARN  NODES are now detected even when the
  time stamp  of the network tables  is more recent than  that of BITEARN
  NODES.
 
- These  changes are  detected and  addressed in  a more  timely fashion.
  While  this change  ensures command  response integrity,  it can  cause
  unexpectedly long response time for "trivial" commands if a mismatch is
  detected and the network tables have to be rebuilt.
 
- Entries without a ':site.' tag  (old format) or with ':machine.DEC' are
  now  processed  properly; previously,  the  ':internet.'  tag would  be
  ignored. There are only 2 nodes  affected as of VERS9107, and they have
  no ':internet.' tag anyway.
 
This fix  is highly recommended  if you have  a service machine  (such as
NETSERV)  that  updates BITEARN  NODES  automatically  (ie when  you  are
possibly away). If your server has its own R/W copy of BITEARN NODES, you
are not affected by the first 2 items.
