rfnm's and 4.2bsd

[stanonik at nprdc.ARPA]

We have a problem with rfnm counts in 4.2bsd going to 8 during 
line problems (between our ecu and the imp's ecu) and then never 
coming down.  We are not overriding ecu generated reset.  We get 
the IMPTYPE_RESET message (logged on our console as "interface 
reset"), but we don't seem to get the IMPTYPE_BADLEADER message 
(should log on our console as "leader error") which 4.2bsd uses 
to hostreset, clearing the rfnm counts.  Even more puzzling is 
that manually reseting the ecu doesn't clear the rfnm counts.  
Again we get the RESET, but not the BADLEADER, so no hostreset.  
Any ideas?  Maybe the imp's not sending BADLEADER?  Have any 4.2bsd
sites observed BADLEADER in repsonse to manually reseting the ecu?

(As an aside, can anyone tell me where the bbn 1822 report specifies 
when the imp clears it rfnm counts?)

Thanks,
