Oh, it does. What happened is that someone, well before your GET (CTL,
obtained the filelist via GET and tried to PUT it. After getting the
message you mentioned, he got angry and/or frustrated and replaced it
manually on LISTSERV 191. The contents of the file are now incorrect and
information has been lost; LISTSERV will refuse to replace it even if you
follow the "right" procedure, because it detects the format error. I will
send you the default LISTSERV FILELIST.
