	there is just one place where that can happen, and if all else
	works just fine, it is telling that there is TA file which is
	located into /O/ subdir, but no matching file in the queue.

	Removal from the  $POSTOFFICE/transport/ directory is not
	successfull then.  Race somewhere ?  File(s) got moved, but
	that unlink() still gets original input directory reference.

	Moving all files up from queue and transport subdirs should
	restore sanity -- but which system now had made movings into
	wrong places in the first place ?

	hmm..  half-a-dozen things in mailq, and getaddrinfo() are
	causing that connectivity problem.  CVS cured now.
	However the scheduler report is quite consistent with a complete
	failure to schedule :-/

	The message count has been decrementing in place where it should not..
	And the stored count in unsigned int (32 bits) of some negative value.
