Comment: << review queue entry 61123 - submitted by 'kevinmaynard' >>
Cf. http://chengyu.game2.tw/archives/203710, in which the 《漢語大詞典》第16881頁 第12卷 80 definition is cited: 1. 密使。 暗中派往敵方進行反間或偵察等活動的使者。 《史記•淮陰侯列傳》:「范陽辯士蒯通說信曰:‘將軍受詔擊齊,而漢獨發閒使下齊,寧有詔止將軍乎? 何以得毋行也!’」 《周書•晉蕩公護傳》:「先是,護母閻姬與皇第四姑及諸戚屬,並沒在齊,皆被幽縶。 護居宰相之後,每遣間使尋求,莫知音息。」 《舊唐書•竇建德傳》:「又遣間使約世充共為表裏。」 2. 針灸穴位名。 屬手厥陰心包經。 位於前臂掌側,腕橫紋上三寸。 《醫宗金鑒•刺灸心法要訣•手部主病針灸要穴歌》:「間使主治脾寒證,九種心疼瘧渴生。」

Editor: ok, I don't have a paper version of 漢語大詞典, but:
- there is a pirate electronic version that has been circulated on the web for ever so long, you find it everywhere;
- in that version, the variant or simplified writings and pinyin seem to me to be gibberish, probably automatically generated;
- but what follows 亦作 (here 間使) is correct, and here contradictory with a 閑使 spelling.

Compare the entry for a more common word:
閒諜xián dié(閒諜,閑諜)亦作「間諜」。
seeing that there is no separate entry for 間諜, I refuse to believe that this word is written 閑諜 or pronounced xiandie
Diff:
# 間使 间使 [xian2shi3] /Alternative form for 閒使 / 閑使 / 間使 / 间使; 1) secret envoy. 2) acupuncture point,/
+ 間使 间使 [jian4 shi3] /secret envoy/acupuncture point Pc-5/
