I noticed the same problem late last night. I brought it to Avon's attention,
thinking it was related to the 21:4/100 HUB. Clearly, it's affecting more
than just me, though. You're on 21:3/100 HUB, correct?

I've had to clear a couple semaphores as well, but only once, when I
interrupted the fidopoll process too early. Don't do that. Let it time out on
its own, and you shouldn't have that particular problem.

For now, I'm doing manual fidopolls. The automatic BinkP is working, but not
perfectly, because my HUB keeps trying to send that same file, often first,
and then it's timing out.

I'm sure more experienced minds than mine are already working on this!
