   Hello Andrew!

    Although I applaud that the update is validated, be aware that that   
    requires that the update is generated by makenl. Some RC's collate their   
    segement by other means and do not provide a valid CRC in the first line.   
      
    On the other hand, it would force the nodelist administrators to subit a   
    proper segement. There are tools, that can do a validation and deliver   
    a proper file, quite irrespective of what is submitted.
