a)  I had a zwgc running -- two, in fact.  I suspect that is causing
    the problem.

    I was getting zgrams as normal.

b)  I have a .zephyr.vars file for each zwgc I run.  Each one runs
    from a different homedir, and with a different WGFILE.  Here is
    the relevant code that is sourced by my .login:

/usr/etc/zwgc
( set home = ~/.Alt.zephyr.home ;   \
  nice /etc/xterm -geom 80x66+-8+0 -rw -n "Zephyr Junk" -sb )  &

    And the .cshrc for the fake homedir sources the follwing:

setenv WGFILE /tmp/wg.dkk.junk
mv ~/zlog ~/zlog.0
cp /dev/null ~/zlog
/usr/etc/zwgc -ttymode >> ~/zlog
/usr/athena/zctl load
tail -f ~/zlog | fgrep -v -f ~/filter &

    Presumably, zctl shouldn't screw up a zwgc with a different
WGFILE.  Or does exposure work on a per-host basis?  I should hope
not, or the people on dialup would be stepping on each other's toes
constantly.
