Ok, let's consider this for a second.  The original submitter reported
that there were (to him) mysterious "Forbidden" messages and we
haven't heard from him since.  You gave an explanation of where these
Forbidden messages might come from and the relevant design flaw.  I
gave a suggestion for making it less mysterious by patching the
upstream code to improve the Forbidden message.

Aren't we all talking about the same bug?
