   actually it is the effects of multiple distribution paths from the origin to   
   the receiver... something in the path also causes changes in some messages   
   which lead to various methods of CRC dupe detection to be broken... that's   
   what allows the dupes to further spread... the sad part is that folks   
   operating those systems feeding others that have been told about the problem   
   continue to run the software instead of backing up to a previous (possibly   
   non-alpha) version that doesn't have the problem... instead the problem is   
   allowed to build and expand while everyone hopes the author will return and   
   fix the bugs... hopefully he will, he does good work...   
      
   i just can't see how this was allowed to get out and into use for this long...   
   someone's doing something very wrong... that's for sure... it isn't you or   
   rob, either...

   Do you manage your own servers? If you are not running an IDS/IPS yer doin' it   
   wrong...   
   ... Let's face it, this is not the worst thing you've caught me doing.
