Subj : Polling Loop?

Hello There,


I have been having a popping loop issue between BBBS and Mystic. I have both 
BBBS and Mystic setup on separate machines here. I did a test with BBBS and
Mystic here. As a base I made sure that there was no mail/files waiting in 
BBBS's outbound to go out to Mystic (1:282/1032). I did a queue check
and I got:

Nodenumber  Age Flags  Bad Busy Msgs  ArcMail  Files
----------  --- ------ --- ---- ----  -------  -------

I did a manual poll in BBBS to poll 1:282/1032. The poll showed up in the queue 
as it should:

Nodenumber    Age Flags     Bad Busy Msgs  ArcMail    Files
----------    --- --------- --- ---- ----  -------   -------
1:282/1032.0   0   IC   D    0   0    1      0kB       0kB

BBBS polled Mystic (1:282/1032) as it should of. Once the poll was completed
BBBS polled Mystic again repeatedly. Until I deleted the poll from the queue.
At which time BBBS immediately stopped polling. It seems that either BBBS 
doesn't see the poll as having been completed and then deleting the poll from 
the queue. Or Mystic isn't terminating the connection in a manner that BBBS is 
properly recognizing. I include Mystic primarily because this polling loop 
behavior only seems to happen when BBBS connects to Mystic systems. I have 
polled a variety of other non Mystic systems and have never seen this behavior.
 
I had resisted posting on the matter in the Mystic or BBBS echos as I didn't 
want it to seem like I was bashing either piece of software. But... Maybe if I 
do, it might draw more attention to the matter from others. I feel it is 
important
to note that I am also in discussion with Kim on the matter.
