Interesting twist in the problem.

Good to know how you eliminated the problem, but as a real sysprog I am curious 
what the cause of the problem was. How could the other subsystem interfere with 
the MPF exit? How does it 'trap' the message? It looks like it is not 
serialized with the MPF exit, so it could change things, while the MPF exit was 
working on it.
Can you give a clue?

Kees.
