> Forward declarations of events aren't correctly resolved when used inside a module namespace. The worst thing about this is that they fail silently: there's no error message, the handler is just not executed. 
> The example below never prints anything. Once the module statement is removed, everything works fine though.

> module Foo;
> global bar: event();
> event bar()
>     {
>     print "bar";
>     }
> event new_connection(c: connection)
>     {
>     event bar();
>     }
> {noformat}
