MSGID/REPLY threading worked well in the original 1.11 release on DOS & OS/2.

I can't vouch for the Linux port of Squish. I don't think it got a lot of
testing. Among other things you might have C structure alignment/padding
inconsistencies on ARM that weren't present on the i386 build.

I recall Bob Jones disappeared from Fido only a few years after porting
Maximus (which included Squish) to Linux in 2003.

Maybe it was Scott Dudley in disguise! Probably not.

These days I think everyone using Squish bases on Linux/BSD are using Husky's
HPTLINK. I vaguely recall HPTLINK is a bit more intelligent than SQUISH LINK
anyway.
