subject: Polling Loop?

Hello There,

Here is something I have noticed that has happened occasionally for awhile
now. BBBS will get stuck in a continuous polling loop. It doesn't always
involve the
same remote system or even the same FTN.  This round of polling continued
until I seen it happening and issued the command 'bbbs bom d 1:14/5'. Any
thoughts on what might be causing this behavior? It's like BBBS doesn't
detect that the connection was completed and tries again and again and
again. Or Mystic isn't expressing that the connection was completed and so
BBBS retries. This also happened on previous versions of BBBS.
