What gets run after the following message is displayed?

I am trying to track down a non-destructive, but annoying, (because I don't
see where it is coming from) response of "I don't understand that" at the
end as in the following:

I don't understand that.

Am I correct in that the server goes through the #0:do_login_command/#10:co
sequence twice for a CO (?).

I could understand this in the event of a no-password but why when both are
provided?

Perhaps the wrong questions all together....

My scenarios are thus:

A co request comes in; if it gets authenticated then I log them in done and
fine except for the "I don't understand that." msg.

When I do a std co name password, everything is fine no message... Perhaps
something is not getting set in the first that I am missing?

Oh and those negative incoming player ids (#-743). do those keep
accumulating (the #-743 is from my server) or should the be decrementing on
connection?

Thanks!

Check in player:confunc and room:confunc

They just keep on growing.
Especially bad if you run a webserver out of the game as well.

        Does encore have @paranoid?  You might wish to try enabling
@paranoid, then tracing where the text's coming from ("@check-full", I
believe).

        It goes through #0:dlc at least twice (once to show the login
screen, once to handle the "co <player> <password>" input) per login.
#10:co should get called once.

        They keep accumulating.  Each connection gets its own unique
negative object.
