   Ah,  you have experienced the same problem I had on the non-smapi version.    
   Something is amiss in the jam code that I didn't want to take the time to   
   track down.  I switched to the smapi branch and haven't looked back -- my   
   whole system is based on the Husky project.  I've found the latest 'unstable'   
   tarball to work very well - even if the documentation is either scarce or in   
   Russian.   
      
   I'm running:   
      
   Gentoo Linux in a 64bit VM (gcc 4.5.3,etc)   
   	smapi 2.5.0   
    		(fidoconf, areafix, etc etc from the same trrball)   
   	hpt 1.9.0-cur 28-01-12   
   	htick/lnx 1.9.0-cur 15-11-11   
   	JamNNTPd-smapi 1.1.2 (dev-build)

   Also, the smapi version can operate on all the same message formats as   
   supported by the Husky project, which includes JAM,  Squish, and the old ..MSG   
   format.   
      
   I don't think I want to support the non-smapi version;  it has custom code for   
   handling JAM which, to me, is duplicated efforts as a properly supported   
   open-source library exists and that library adds more message base options to   
   sysops.   
      
   I stood up a WinXP VM become my build environment for the win32 version -- now   
   to just get the toolchain needed to build with...
