I just ran a session with the buffer set to the default (setting it to
the maximum seemed to solve the problem.) and session
logging on and nothing seemed to go wrong.
I'll do this for a few days to verify it.
The download on this recent test was just a few messages (9),
so there was not much '^H\....' stuff to trigger the effect if it was
there.
It seems probable to me now that this might of been a secondary effect
of the 'reinput' problem also metioned in my original post, when
the primary one *didn't* happen due to some timing fluke of the particular
session. But at the time, it seemed to go away when the buffer was
maxed out in size.
This last test was still done with the original
'is now ready for download ***'
input string, instead of the suggested
'{is now ready for download ***}'
Thanks, I gotta do the debug.log stuff yet.
