[nos-bbs] heads up 'remote disc early' possibly corrupting area index ?

[M Langelaar]

last one, sorry ...

AND I have still not been able to get the 'offset' feature to work, 
which is no
doubt not helpful as far as keeping indexes clean, since JNOS just buggers
up the flow whenever the 'offset' shows up - I need to get that working :(

     about to validate FS line [FS ---!1500+] msg cnt 5

I've tried, but failed several times, hard to simulate this

Anyways ...
