    AL>>> I have recently noticed that some versions of BinkD are listing

   That is an interesting unix timestamp, which doesn't fit into a 64-bit signed   
   integer.   
      
   18446744073453975120 / 2 -> November 16, 219250464   
      
   Even if this were in nanoseconds it would be a date far in the future:   
   July 21, 2554   
      
    AL> I need to add logging of the sent M_FILE messages to confirm that   
    AL> mbcico is sending a 32-bit value in the M_FILE.  You can see that the   
    AL> remote (binkd 1.1a-99/Linux) is sending a 64-bit value for the   
    AL> Unixtime in the M_GOT frame.   
      
   Looks like a bug to me that needs fixing. Are you sure that binkd sends this   
   number?   
      
    Ol>> Does it break compatibility with any mailer? You didn't mention   
    Ol>> any specific example.   
      
    AL> mbcico (the mailer included with MBSE BBS) rejects the M_GOT with the   
    AL> 64-bit value and ends up trying to send the file again in the next   
    AL> session.  I suspect that ifcico (which mbcico was based on) will do   
    AL> the same, although I haven't tested it yet.   
      
   Every mailer should reject that M_GOT, the value doesn't make any sense.
