	We are running MH 6.5 on a SUN 4/280S running Sys4-3.2_EXPORT
    (output from "repl -help" follows at the end of the article) and
    we have encountered an annoying bug in repl: if you try to reply to
    a message that is not your current message then garbage gets
    inserted at the end of your reply (sample output follows, Note:
    although for this demonstration I have used the -build option the
    same thing happens without it.)

	If you have found and fixed this bug please let me know.
	If you can reproduce the bug and your system is different
    please let me know.
	If your system is similar to ours and you cannot reproduce the
    bug please let me know.
	If you have any suggestions please let me know.
