Haha I think we've all done that at some stage.  I remember when my maintenance
settings were off back in the RA days, and I still had a number of areas in the
Hudson message.  And if a pile of echomail came in at once, the size exceeded
16MB and the messagebase got scrambled, causing all sorts of weird crossposts! 
And it was something I never found out about until after the fact (does "oh
sh*t" come to mind? ;) ).

Good to hear he's found the issue and is working on a permanent fix.
