Hello Chris,

I've copied the mauisusers list in on this as this is
now really just a Maui problem.

I wish I could remember what the U: 16 stood for there.  It
doesn't make sense to me!

Does checkjob -v give any extra info ?

I've got a memory that there was a double accounting bug
in one of the releases last year - checking the archives
may shed some light on that.
