The issue is that the polling node is using the test node number, /999,
instead of an assigned number.  Anyone else who is trying to test a new
connection, who does not somehow manage to get their polls all done in the
2-minute window, will have whatever response messages they were looking for
picked up by the offending node.

Paul -- if nothing else, maybe you could set up a second/new test node,
like /9999, to allow others to test?
