Clx Bug

After allot of experimenting on the "PC11"/4 problem Myself and VK3BBS,
VK4CJO, K4UGA have been able to isolate the problem somewhat. If you are
the first to be sent a spot from a CLX Cluster you get the spot with no
difficulties or errors. If you are second to get sent a spot you get an
extra ^ in the Date field. If third^^ and so on. This appears to be
happening on versions 4.01a and 4.01b. I am being told that 4.01a and
4.01b are the exact same version. Thus the same error. 4.01 still works
well as does 4.00. The Cluster_par file in 4.00 is buggy and also the
admin program is buggy but the best bet the way I see it is to downgrade to
4.01 and you should be fine. I wonder if the fix is being worked on? It
basically had shut my system down of all spots. I never upgraded from 4.00
but everybody else that was sending me spots did except the japan cluster
which is using 3.04 and it is going along fine. Everybody that has
downgraded is now sending me spots with no PC11/4 errors. Your thoughts
are appreciated!
