    Log Message:
    Fix potential deadlock in specific case

    If the telnet client sends an IP address as a Location, and that
    IP address is in a filter file, the input thread mutex would not
    be unlocked.

    This oddball feature was suggested on Reddit here: https://www.reddit.com/r/synchronet/comments/khuyey/ftelnetwebsocketservicejs/

    And implemented in Synchronet here: https://gitlab.synchro.net/main/sbbs/-/commit/2bbe824c0656176d0314f2d48558b322a69b9e32

    It appears that it's been broken the whole time.

    Found by some LLM (ChatGPT?) and reported by nelgin.

    Log Message:
    Don't execute login module if user already disconnected

    which might log the (new) error message: Error -1 executing login module

    Users can easily disconnect before the login module is executed (e.g. during
    a pause prompt while displaying text/answer.*).

    We still might need more disconnection detection in login.js or lower the severity of the logged error if login.js still gets auto-terminated due to disconnection (which results in a -1 exit code if ungracefully terminated).
