This seems to be widespread and not confined to the Mercury ROMP.
However, there is no evidence that it's a platform-specific 
problem, so follow-ups set to d.i.support

It annoys me intensely to find people posting to a newsgroup 
without bothering to check whether it's the right one, and
without following the simple rule of netiquette that you should
read a newsgroup for a while before firing off a question. 

A good example of the former is the constant stream of Windows 
questions in demon.ip.support.pc; the latter is well illustrated
by the rash of 'what's happened to batchftp' postings in demon.
ip.support over the last week. 

I happen to think Richard was wrong to suggest that the login 
problem was not an ip.support issue, but I'd much rather that he 
tried to keep the newsgroup on-topic than simply ignored the 
chaff.  However, I don't know that the <abuse.h> really helps..
