xzwrite subscribes to login and logout notices to keep its
destinations list up to date. Since 7.0, it has been receiving
notices it should not be. Specifically:
17:35 Invalid notice.
17:35 To: <USER_LOCATE, marc@ATHENA.MIT.EDU, *>
17:35 From: bjaspan@ATHENA.MIT.EDU
17:35 Opcode: LOCATE
17:35 Message: SENT
17:35 Invalid notice.
17:35 To: <USER_LOCATE, marc@ATHENA.MIT.EDU, *>
17:35 From: bjaspan@ATHENA.MIT.EDU
17:35 Opcode: LOCATE
17:35 Message: T
The "Invalid notice" is an error from xzwrite saying it didn't
understand a notice it received -- it just prints all the fields that
you see in response. In this case, the error occurred because the
opcode ("LOCATE") is not one that it should ever receive. I suspect
the library is passing packets through that it should not be.
