Hi Alan.  Well, one or both of msged and squish must have caused the bad
PKT.  Are you able to reproduce that?  As you can see from the hexdump, at
offset 0xCB, the message terminates, and then some junk starts up. This has
only ever happened twice so far, two packets, with just single netmail
messages.  Your packets are normally fine.  So what was special about these
ones?  Perhaps because they are single netmail messages, with no other
echomail etc around?  BFN.  Paul.
