   The BBBS bogus command (adding or reading messages to/from the message   
   database) is not supposed to run more than once at the time, so that's why it   
   will not run as long as there is another session going. bbbsrun.c is the file   
   that the bogus command generates when it runs, and is supposed to be deleted   
   when it has finished. You need to look into the reason why this file remains   
   in the bbbstemp folder, because it is NOT supposed to when the command has   
   finished.

   I don't think this problem is a script issue.
