Running poller in dev environment

[Red Squirrel]

Just a heads up to shard owners out there, you may be seeing an extra connection throughout the next day or so, not to be alarmed, I just have the poller running in the dev environment. This is not a lot of traffic, we're talking a few KB every 5 minutes so it may look bad if your shard is not busy but it's not really that much traffic.

I'll turn this off some times tomorrow afternoon (or whenever I get home).

This is now done (I shut it off the next day around 12pm ET).

Just a heads up I will be applying a small patch to live shortly, this will allow older versions of sphere (and possibly other server engines) to work.  Basically I made it so if 0x0 is not received instead of just timing out it will look at the data that was actually received and try to parse out what it needs.  Some servers don't put a 0x0 at the end of the string, but the string is still valid.

There is a possibility of downtime for this patch as the actual poller is not ready so I can't just do a sync and recompile, I need to actually edit the code on live to match the changes I made.  Should go fairly smooth though.
