Greetings Dieter!

   A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, a coded message from Dieter 
Ringhofer to Don Guy was intercepted...

 DR> Did you encounter any 'other' sign why it could be crashed?

None that I'm aware of.

 DR> When it (or Squish) crashes most often you'll find even a .pkt or a
 DR> .bad in inbound or current working directory. When you open this with
 DR> inspectp you can identify most of the errors (if trouble is based on
 DR> bad packets).

I don't see this as a "crash" in the common use of the term.  There are no bad 
packets being received; PktSort simply isn't doing anything.

When I first started using it, PktSort behaved flawlessly.  I plugged it into 
my COMPRESS.CFG file, and nothing more had to be done.  Now it's just...  dead.
