Ben the latest problems I have had is a double hop count the protocol ends with
H255^H10 With some versions of packclus (before 5.4.52) this has caused the
node to crash. Also I saw that one from DB0CLX a few weekends ago. Another
problem I have seen recently was a 0 zero in the hop count field from a new
sysop I think he was an italian station. A zero in the hops field will
force packclus to reset the hops counter to -255 or 255 (I have seen both
happen).

73 and if I can be of any help please do not hesitate to ask,
