`What causes the "BAD READ (expected 'C' got FAIL)"??

Usually, what happens is that my machine took a LONG time between packets,
and anise got impatient.  If anise sends out what I call a BLIP packet
(blip, cause it blips the RD light on my modem) (this packet means, "Where
the hell are you?", I think), my UNIXPC sometimes can't resync with anise
(although, sometimes it does, magically), and I get the FAIL.
