Yes, all the KA9Qs I've looked at have such a check (even YAN :), but 
this little bug(ger) was all my own work. The running transfer rate 
calculation in the bytecount progress display didn't check :(  Yet 
another casual doodle come back to haunt me :(

I'm still impressed that it ever hit though, but I must admit that the 
effect of a large COM buffer didn't enter my calculations (such as they 
were).
