  RE CHAOS NET PROBLEMS ON AI.
PROBLEM PRETTY CLEARLY IS LONG PACKET LOSSAGE ON CADR1.

  LOSSAGE IS A FUNCTION OF THE PARTICULARE FILE YOU ARE TRYING TO
HACK.  SAME FILE LOSES WHEN TRYING TO GOBBLE IT FROM EITHER
MC OR AI.  CADR2 WINS ON THIS FILE FROM AI.  LOSSAGE IS BAD-BIT-COUNT.

  CAUSE OF DROP-DEAD S IN NET-RECEIVE WAS THAT IT COULD GET A NEGATIVE
WORD COUNT IF ENTIRE PACKET WAS SHORTER THAN HARDWARE HEADER WAS SUPPOSED
TO BE.  CODE CHANGED IN SOURCE TO BE MORE DEFENSIVE.
