That's... odd. Fortunately, the inter-queue-run locks
appear to have worked, and one exited fairly quickly;
before the delivery:

It might be useful to know when the *connection* arrived from (sigh,
obfuscated thus making our lives harder in interpreting this) "<= XXXX"

This:

was presumably exigrep again, on the paniclog not the mainlog.
Please, keep the two separate.


This:

... I assume that was from the paniclog also. Two confusing things
here:
- it's apparently a store&forward delivery "=>", not the cutthrough
delivery ">>"
- the InternalId given by the destination end is different, implying
that it really was a duplicate delivery that we did

Was that line in mainlog as well as paniclog?

I can't think of a way right now... unless - is the system clock
stable? Is time jumping backwards? That would invalidate all sorts
of assumptions if true.
