Hi. I believe I understand the cause of this problem (it has to do
with zephyr being a packet-based protocol, and the re-use of network
port numbers after the unclean termination of a zephyr client).
Although the problem is fairly serious since it involves a breach of
privacy, it is not easy to fix without serious changes to the zephyr
protocol. But thanks for letting us know.
