Log out messages being randomly shown to players

Problem Description:

Sometimes, when a random player logs out, everyone will get shown a log-out message containing their character name, ckey and the time they logged out.

It's not really an issue, but some people like to keep their character name and ckey separate.

Steps to reproduce the problem:

I don't know how you would reproduce it. Get onto a busy server and hope one appears?

This has been happening forever. Dunno why, though.
I remember looking into it literally years ago, and I couldn't figure out why it was happening. If you get me a sample of the logout text I can look into it again.

I tried to get it, but I lost it in the chat box. It was like 80 players so the chat was scrolling fast. Next time I see one I'll save it.

I've got a hunch that it's unlikely to be located in the client code, otherwise we would have found and fixed it ages ago.

[KazeEspada]

what if its in the byond to IRC code?

[Petethegoat]

It predates the IRC integration.

[Petethegoat]

The offending line is line 3 of code/modules/mob/logout.dm, which calls log_access("Logout: [key_name(src)]")
Presumably it's a problem with log_access (ha ha gl)

[Petethegoat]

And log_access is
/proc/log_access(text)
if (config.log_access)
diary << "[[time_stamp()]]ACCESS: [text]"

so blame byond?? i dunno

I haven't seen this happen in a few months. I wonder if it's still around.
