In function `find_match()' of `[libexec]/[talkd]/table.c' there is code
(near line 89) reading:

        gettimeofday(&tp, &txp);
        current_time = tp.tv_sec;
        if (debug)
                print_request("find_match", request);
        for (ptr = table; ptr != NIL; ptr = ptr->next) {
                if ((ptr->time - current_time) > MAX_LIFE) {
                        /* the entry is too old */

I believe the sense of the subtraction in the predicate to the second
`if' is back to front.  Could this be checked ?

As `difftime()' is not a macro, I would not be so fussy as demand its use :-)
