That's not terribly surprising.  If you'd look at it, you'd see that 
num_can_see is incremented after your 'else'.  Since num_can_see 
determined what is shown at the end of who (eg., "No-one at all!"), this 
is your problem.

The solution is, of course, up to you to decide upon because there are 
msny, msny availible.  At the bare minimum I suggest changing the code to:

 if (GET_LEVEL(ch) == LVL_IMPLEMENTOR)
   sprintf(buf, "[Implementor] %s %s", GET_NAME(tch), GET_TITLE(tch));
 else
   sprintf(buf, "[%2d %s] %s %s",
	   GET_LEVEL(tch), CLASS_ABBR(tch), GET_NAME(tch), GET_TITLE(tch));
 num_can_see++;

Place that after the 'else' for the shortlist check (where you placed 
your level check).

There is many better ways to doing these things, if you'd like one or 
two, just e-mail.
