Lena - good point. John, Side issue to the dying queue-runner, but I think that confirms it as 'unwanted'. Conversion quite aside, can you not reject these right up-front on forward/reverse lookup fail or such? I grep'ed some old, large logs and couldn't match any part of them, so probably never took those or their sputniki on board to get *into* a queue.
