[aprssig] Error checking within APRS packets

[Gregg Wonderly]

Do we have any real examples of how the quiet TX 1/2 through packet followed by 
loud TX complete packet can result in a "packet" too long that would corrupt 
internal TNC buffers?

Will the start of the "loud" packet result in an end of packet recognition of 
the "quiet TX" packet.

How does all of this play out to indicate that there are failure modes that 
we've seen but not been able to identify the cause of?
