Nope, It's been a long time since I tested hoplimit1 on my OT2 fillins. If I
recall correctly, misinformed folks running WIDE1-2 (bad path) were rewarded
with two hops. Hoplimit 0 will act upon an exact match, replace the WIDE1-N
with mycall and digipeat it.

Just excess baggage from an earlier "flight". I haven't noticed any harm or
slowdown.

That reminds me of "How many licks to the center of a tutsipop"? Like the Owl,
I say 3 licks;-)
I was aware of Scott's post, but I really don't have much concern about the
RAM's minimum life expectancy. I would be concerned if my script was re-writing
with every packet received, or if the script created a constant mobius loop.
