MIZZOU1 is  telling RSCS that  UNLVM (University of Nebraska)  and UNMCVM
(University of Nebraska Medical Centre) are the same machine as UIUCVM42.
All files  to Nebraska  are lost, because  they are sent  to the  user at
UIUCVM42 by the same name which probably doesn't exist, and jobs to their
LISTSERV is being routed back to UIUCVM42, which rejects them because the
file has been through it. Well one thing is to wear 20 different hats and
not know  the difference  between ROUTE  and REROUTE.  But it  is another
thing entirely  to make a  change of this  magnitude on a  Friday without
bothering to test it (sending a test file to a random user at UNLVM would
have instantly pointed to the problem),  and lose other people's files as
a result. But, I guess, sometimes Fridays are very busy and there is just
no time.  Now, when  you start  being flooded  with error  messages after
making a change and still can't figure  out that there might be a problem
with what you did, well, I just don't know where to look for an excuse.
 
The typo  in the code which  caused the "Reason" blurb  to replace rather
than be appended to the error message will be fixed in 1.8a.
