   Very simple.  :)

   The same problem should occur if you tried to C)hange a message.

   Yes.. so we can eliminate the use of JAM if used in Win7/32, or WinXP.  :(   
      
   But then the jury is still out on Squish bases (via Fastecho).   
      
   Modifying, C)hange-ing a message in a Squish message base did not trigger     
   the 4GB bloat problem.  But I still don't have Fastecho setup to fully     
   test incoming and outgoing prosessing.
