   This is a bit complicated.   
      
   A node in Z1 is posting very big messages, over 400k. Those messages are   
   tossing OK here but when they pass through some nodes that don't support   
   messages over a certain size (64k, I think) they can get mangled. I see two   
   mangled messages without correct header info or MSGID. For every good message   
   I see here I see two mangled messages also. This issue will reveal itself   
   differently at different nodes with different tossers.   
      
   If I read the situation correctly that nodes "New file Announcement" keeps   
   growing every day because the already announced files are not being cleared so   
   they get announced again day after day. The message size grows a little every   
   day.   
      
   That node seems to be on auto pilot so that will keep on happening until he   
   gets in front of his keyboard again.   
      
   His packets are valid, just quite large and growing every day.
