I do remember this issue, but I don't remember it as a Squish problem
specifically or Scott being hammered on about it here.  When our net had
200+ nodes, the head of the local distribution topology asking me to change
a tagname of an echo I birthed because it had CRC collisions with something
else already out.  At that time, I was running Squish and he wasn't...but
he eventually switched over too.
