Bug with RCMD?

Hi all,
I have been trying the RCMD command. Unfortunately, it seems to loop. Here is
a short extract from /var/log/messages when I typed rcmd/gb7mbc sh/dx from
gb7mbc-11

Jul 25 07:12:03 unix syslog: gb7mbc<-:PC84^GB7MBC^GB7MBC-11^GB7MBC-16^sh/dx^~^M
Jul 25 07:12:03 unix syslog: gb7mbc->:PC84^GB7MBC^GB7MBC-11^GB7MBC-16^sh/dx^~^M
Jul 25 07:12:03 unix syslog: gb7mbc<-:PC84^GB7MBC^GB7MBC-11^GB7MBC-16^sh/dx^~^M
Jul 25 07:12:03 unix syslog: gb7mbc->:PC84^GB7MBC^GB7MBC-11^GB7MBC-16^sh/dx^~^M
Jul 25 07:12:03 unix syslog: gb7mbc<-:PC84^GB7MBC^GB7MBC-11^GB7MBC-16^sh/dx^~^M

If I try to do the same to pe0mar-11, through gb7mbc.. ie like this

gb7mbc-11 -> gb7mbc -> pe0mar-11

The same happens. During this time, syslogd takes approximately 60% of CPU
time. Can anybody confirm this? It does eventually stop after maybe 5
minutes.
Ian
