Numerically named DBNPC's causing problems

It seems DBNPC's named strictly with numbers are causing some sort of problem.

There is a DBNPC on Testbed named '12171217' since Testbed uses an account name format for rights. However, when trying to open it it returns:

"No read rights for NPCS/cbk1994_0"

As well, it's also returning the script and attributes of 'cbk1994_0' instead of '12171217'. The .txt file for '12171217' is still listed in file browser, as well as 'cbk1994_0', except 'cbk1994_0' isn't showing up in the DBNPC list. Somewhere there is a major mix-up.

The NPC is still up on Testbed if you'd like to check it out. I didn't delete it because I have no idea what NPC will be deleted instead.

How dare you try to open my script. Shame on you, Dusty.

EDIT: When I try to open it, it opens cbk1994_0, although it claims to open 12171217.

Probably problem of having two npcs with the same id. This can happen when you add NPCs with file browser or you add some old levels and some old npcs reappear. Shutdown the npcserver, change the id, then restart it.

That looks like the problem—cbk1994_0 isn't even in the NPC list.
