I've replied about this message already. (I'm not sure that the offending message made it to hub 3, but I havent looked in great depth).

But just as a correction - while in the past, if the packet with more than 1 message had a bad packed message in it (it seems to be mostly from mystic systems), it wouldnt process the remaining messages - that is not so true anymore.

If the packet is corrupt and the terminating null cannot be found for the offending message, then the remaining bundle will still be considered bad. If it can be found, and the next starting hex for the next type 2 message is there, only the offending message will be discarded.

However, if an archive contains multiple packets (as is often the case), then all packets in the bundle will be attempted (its always been that way).
