[Opensim-users] Why do I get "Region too far" when using hypergrid?

[Michael Huntington]

Thanks Diva,
This is a little off topic but just wanted to let you know I visited:

secondlife://ucigrid04.nacs.uci.edu:9003/

and it seems someone has trashed the place.. and put nude photos as textures
on some prims.... Also while there I noticed I was able to control the
Estate settings ... and just to make sure this wasn't a mistake.. I
hypergrided over to my OSGrid sim (which belongs to another user of mine)
... I was also able to control the Estate and move objects around that
didn't belong to me.

Is this a HyperGrid bug?
