OK, I think I found a different problem with packet 2.2 format...

sbbsecho.log shows: (ie: packet to 3/997 - as defined - not to a point)

===
2023-06-25 20:59:39 Sending packet (/opt/sbbs/temp/sbbsecho/64981e1f.pkt, 0.5KB) from 10:1/4 to 10:3/997
2023-06-25 20:59:39 File (../fido/outbound.00a/64981e1f.pkt, 0.5KB) for 10:3/997 added to BSO/FLO file: ../fido/outbound.00a/000303e5.hlo
===

However packet dump says it is going to 3/997.5:

===
root@alterant:outbound.00a# pktdump 64981e1f.pkt
pktdump rev 1.18 - Dump FidoNet Packets

Opening 64981e1f.pkt
64981e1f.pkt Packet Type 2.2 (prod: FF, rev: 3) from 10:1/4@private to 10:3/997.5@private
===

Hexdump of the packet shows:

===
[root@a-2-1 outbound.00a]# hexdump -Cn 58 64981e1f.pkt
00000000  04 00 e5 03 e7 07 05 00  19 00 14 00 3b 00 27 00  |............;.'.|

Indeed:
 0x04 should be zero (instead shows 2023 - Year?)
 0x06 should be zero (instead shows 05 - Month?)
 0x08 should be zero (? - reserved) but is probably the rest of the date from a type 2 packet?)
