Infinite Zoning Loop

[WildcardX]

FNW,

There is a problem at the zone in of Vex Thal that causes a player to go into an infinite loop zoning. I use to think it was a problem in the database, but after an exhaustive search, I have been able to rule this out as a possibility based on 2 facts.

1. This bug will happen in a naked vex thal zone (ie no mobs, no doors, no traps, etc).

2. This bug is random. I have seen this bug happen on the same database with the exact same datasets and then after a reboot of the client, I have seen the bug not appear and I am able to walk into vex thal from the zone in.

I noticed messages in my debug log that records an "Unsolicited zone request..." and after looking into the source code, I can see the logic where the client sends an UnsolicatedZone message to the server, the server is unable to determine the nearest zone point to send me out of (vex thal has no zone points records) so the server then attempts to send me right back to where the client was sending me from (vex thal) and then the client sends me back out again as an UnsolicatedZone message and the whole thing just keeps on repeating.

The question here is why is the client just deciding at random to send me out via an UnsolicatedZone request? I hope it's not anything funny hardcoded into the client that is specific to this zone.

I'd appreciate any thought you may have on this matter. Thank you in advance!
