The professor was not logged into the same machine.  nor
was the student ever logged into the same dialup machine
as the professor.

I hope you can figure out what is going on,  too many
people take it for granted that person messages will
not go to the wrong subscriber.  I was taken by
surprise.

Could someone have changed the host managers on those
machines?  e40-008-{6,10}?

Was the professor logged in earlier in the day on the same  
dialup that
the student was logged in on when you sent the message?

If so, this is a bug I have already reported.  Fixing it right
requires changing the server, and that hasn't happened in  
years.
