Continuing ... (hit Ctrl-Z prematurely), looking now at SBBSecho, I see that
it always start unpacking bundles from Sunday, then Monday, etc. It make more
sense to start unpacking bundles starting with the *next* day of week to
always unpack them in order. This matters most when there's multiple bundles
from multiple days received all at once, which isn't a common occurrence, but
possible.
