    DM> Interesting. Is this a one time occurrence or have you seen this error   
    DM> before? Is it possible there were 2 instance of SBBSecho running at   
    DM> this time (e.g. one spawned by Synchronet timed event and another   
    DM> spawned by another means)? I don't really have another explanation for   
    DM> that at this time, but it certainly should not happen.   
      
   OK... that is quite possible.  Naturally I run fidoin when I get something from   
   my uplink and then it processes it to downlinks but I also have a timed event   
   fidoout running every 10 minutes for netmail to be processed.  There could be   
   an overlap.  Interesting...

    DM> A .pk_ file is a temporary packet (i.e. a packet under construction).   
    DM> Stray temporary packets less than 60 minutes old are not processed by   
    DM> SBBSecho since it may be possible that some other instance of SBBSecho   
    DM> is actually working on that packet. The "rename" error before this was   
    DM> the cause of the stray temporary packet. After 60 minutes, that packet   
    DM> should have been handled by SBBSecho and been sent out.   
      
   OK... when I see another I will wait the 60 minutes and see if it indeed gets   
   sent.   
      
   Thanks again.
