Hi Rein,

"the latest fldigi versions(starting around 3.20.0)"
Doing what exactly please ?

"as from version 3.21.50 the ARQ interface is broken for pskmail."
Could you please describe a scenario that I can reproduce ?

"I have mailed w1hkj about this..."
Was it on the mailing lists ? I am sure other people might have the same
problem.

" The problem is that (part of)  the S/N signalling information
is placed before the end of the frame (before the <EOT>), which breaks the
application."
Is it a bug or a feature that you would like to have removed ? I have seen
that in the code. If you are the only users of this interface, wny not
suggesting a patch ?

"based on 3.20.40. It crashed during last night (segfault, signal 11)."
Can you rerun it under gdb so we can see where it crashes ?

Remi
