This is a special case I forgot to mention. The kernel library skips
registration of those objects because otherwise, DGD/MP could not handle
the establishment of several new connections simultaneously -- registration
in a central object would effectively force them to run in sequence,
since the same central object would be modified by all of them.
So, with the kernel library, the number of objects that the mudlib can
keep track of is equal to
status()[ST_NOBJECTS] - sizeof(users())
