I've had files called xxxxxxxx.REQ, where xxxxxxxx is not my node.  There's
been a variety of substitutes.  Most recently was up02c703.req, where
someone's upload directory was being put in there, due to (I think) either
a bug in DEVIL261 or a configuration setup error, depending on what the
person who wrote that code thought, and the specific behaviour of telix in
that situation.

FM> If it could be anything, it wouldn't *need* validation.

That's what I reckon about all validation!  You run out of disk space,
that's your tough titties!  BFN.  Paul.
