Um... huh?  Set not to expire, but it expired?

As far as I can tell from my logs, I used an operserv command like one
of these:

exception add 75.144.23.157 25 we are a geek house
exception add minkata.ksilebo.org 25

which I believe sets the session limit to 25 for that IP address/resolved
hostname and does not set an expiry time.  If the default is to add an
expiry time (and the help doesn't specify that) then there doesn't seem
to be any mention of what the default expiry time is.  (I've checked
the help for AKILL too, as the help for EXCEPTION refers to it, and
that only refers to STATS AKILL for the default expiry time for AKILLs,
and there doesn't appear to be an equivalent STATS EXCEPTION command.)

Okay, so assuming that there *was* a default expiry time, it would be
useful if

 - the response to the EXCEPTION ADD command mentioned what the expiry
   time had been set to, if one was set, and/or

 - the response to the EXCEPTION LIST command listed the expiry times
   for each exception which is set to expire

because at the moment there's no indication at all that the exception
will expire.  Maybe it'll be a nice 10 minute hacking job for someone's
copious spare time. :)

Thanks,
