Speaking of Squish giving people the shits, it choked on a grunged mail
packet tonight.  Here's the log for that toss session:

Is there something that will let me fix the packet?  I'm not
particularly concerned, even though it's over 1Mb in size uncompressed.
There were only a hand full of AVTech messages in it which I just browsed
though with a hex editor...  It seemed to toss most of it anyway.  Did
it just skip the affected message?

BTW, what sort of messages/second rate do you get for tossing?  I just
upped the size of some conferences so it's almost doubled, because it
doesn't have to renumber or whatever it does when t hits that brick
wall.  But normally when the conference is at it's limit, the toss rate
is about 15 or less per second. :(
