   Howdy.  Well, it happened again, but this time I got granular and preserved the   
   problem file.  When I deleted it, all of the backlog processed fine and things   
   are back to normal.   
      
   Polling produces:

   At this point there are .bsy files left behind for every message network and   
   nothing works from this point on.   
      
   ----------   
      
   This was the problem file:   
      
   Archive:  9DBACD4D.FR2   
     inflating: ./unzip/9FC80759.PKT

   I preserved the file for inspection:

   I am running on Ubuntu.  Don't know if that matters.
