Heh, heh.  Good one.  Yeah that looks like a potential bug.  It has yet to
happen here but I imagine the frontend, binkd for instance, ought to be
keeping an eye on that possibility and just renaming the inbound to avoid
conflict.  Besides that, it probably wouldn't come to that simply because
all incoming pkts are dealt with dynamically here, but I suppose it could
happen given that the machine doesn't do DOS-think and thus isn't limited
by the "there can be only one" ideology.  I'll see if I can
figure out a way to test that and see what happens.

An extremely good idea.

Life is good,
