[aprssig] APRS-IS Duplicate Packets

[Pete Loveall AE5PL Lists]

As indicated by Lynn, the assumption -must- be that trailing whitespace is considered part of the packet.  Anyone who has spent any time in network design and implementation knows that the transport protocol and transport level software -never- alters the transported data.  It is a bad design from day one for anyone to consider that it is "ok" to ignore data in a packet regardless of how inconsequential the software author may think that data is and then modify those packets and their handling based on their errant assumption.
