I'd bet you that the time stamp is identical between the two packets.  I
get that every so often, when by some chance, one bbs packet gets the
same time stamp as another, since the time stamp is based on the BBS
time not my local computer time.  Occasionally, the two will coincide,
when I am making a message run to all the bbs's... :)  The fix is to use
"touch" or some similar command to change the time stamp on one of them.
It only has to be a minute apart, eg 10:10 and 10:11, to work right.
