Interesting that the subject line of this message is regarding serial
numbers.  I don't recall ever seeing a CRC algorithm generate numbers in
series before.  ;-)

FTS-9 specifically mentions a "serial number" with regards to
MSGID generation, therefore two consecutive messages should contain MSGID
serial numbers that follow each other in series, surely?

(Is there anyone who would like to interpret the spec differently?)
