this is why folks have been asking for JAM support for those areas...

but as for it being bad, my system ran out of drive space... not once but
several times... spewages like this are reminiscent of "amplification
attacks" seen on today's internet... especially on hub systems with
large numbers of connections... eg: 1 PKT that's 2Meg in size becomes
200Meg on a system with 100 links that all get the area(s) contained inside
the PKT... when you only have 200Meg to play with, that one PKT eats it all
and then nothing else works...
