DM, this is my second reply to you on this... Just thought of another thing
that might be relevant - I did this same FREQ test from my main BBS to several
other FidoNet systems, and got the same results (two .req files sent, and the
requested file sent back twice from their system.  The SBBS build is newer on
the "test point" system - master/3fa76bald ; and the main/real BBS is
21980aee6.  Both on Linux.  Just wanted you to have this info.

Regards,
Dan
