alpha

• Lessons.pm: Changed the regexp to repair nested tags in display_lessons_html() so that it will not infinite loop on <...<tag>> case. Changed a + to a * . This is the same fix made in item 12 to parse_lessons_html().

• compare_servers.cgi: Fixed a bug where the dates weren't printing right in server diffs due to an undefined date variable.
