subject: HPT creating long file names?

All,


    I have been seeing an issue long packet names coming from a system,
though they do seem to be only for netmails...   The packets have an extra
"00" as part of their name; like 4639c30d00.pkt or 4646f20b00.pkt.  Both
created by this program:  "hpt/lnx 1.4.0-sta 25-02-07". 

    My system will not toss a packet that is not in the 8.3 format;  doesn't
seem to think that it is a proper packet file...   Renameing the files by
dropping that extra "00" out of the name, & they toss with no
problem...

    I've already netmailed the sysop of the system I received the packets
from, but I'm also wondering if anyone else has seen anything like this?
