shvarz:
Not sure if it's the same bug, but I just found the following gene in one of the bots:

Upd: It's actually an Alga minimalis that came into my sim from you, Eric.

Numsgil:
VOID is really, really bad.  It's the programs way of saying "I have no idea what this DNA is.  Sure looks like garbage to me."

EricL:
Yea, I've got a bug in the virus perf change I made somewhere.   I'm on it...

EricL:
This is fixed in 2.43.1d.

I made had made some perf improvements to generalized DNA length calculations to avoid recomputing lengths of viruses and sperm DNA all the time.  A bug in this created a situation where the MakeSpace() routine would make room for a virus of a given length, extending the bot DNA with type-value pairs of -1, -1, but the virus would not get inserted, leaving the DNA malformed.  These -1, -1 pairs are the VOIDs you saw in bots coming from my sim.  The bug that caused this introduced post 2.43.1c in a build that never left my machine but which I mistakenly ran in internet mode, thus teleporting out bots with the malformed DNA.  All is fixed in the forth coming 2.43.1d.
