> console.getstr(\[_string_ default_value\] \[,_number_ maxlen=128\]
\[,_number_ k_mode=K_NONE\] \[,_array_ history\[\]\])

I'm currently using a Linux build from December 8 at 5:04PM (the latest code
failed to build). I've noticed I can pass 0 for the 2nd argument (maxlen), but
passing a negative value seems to cause Synchronet to crash.  For instance:

```
var input = console.getstr("", -1, K_UPPER|K_NOSPIN|K_TRIM);
```

When that line of code ran for me, I was disconnected, and I saw this in the
sbbs log output:

> Dec 14 17:05:54 EO-BBS-NIX systemd\[1\]: sbbs.service: Main process exited,
code=dumped, status=6/ABRT
>
> Dec 14 17:05:54 EO-BBS-NIX systemd\[1\]: sbbs.service: Failed with result
'core-dump'.

Normally I'd update my binaries, but it's failing to build due to the
following error:

> make: \*\*\* No rule to make target 'js_archive.c', needed by 
gcc.linux.x64.obj.release-mt/js_archive.o'. Stop.
