Summary0000574: [patch] spring /V (or -V and couple others) returns -1 always
DescriptionIf you request spring it's version number, help text or projectiledump, after giving those correctly, spring returns with -1 as it's return value.

Spring should return with 0 to indicate no failure, since there has not been a failure.

I checked the path from handling these things to program end, and it is just a chain of returns.

My patch makes spring return with 0 in these cases. This way lobbies can actually see if something really failed when they test for the version number.
TagsNo tags attached.
