Messages such as this often show up when the network or zephyr servers
are being slow.  (Lots of network problems this morning, I'm afraid.)

I believe it's the effect of an ACK packet (to a 'login' message)
coming in after the windowgram client has timed out on waiting for it,
and the packet isn't recognized by the main program (just the 'login'
routine).

The message should be made a little more friendly, if not done away
with completely.  We'll put it on the buglist.
