Is there a known bug with the SQUISH LINK command? Message linking doesn't work properly on my Linux armv7 build. It seems to link every message to the previous and the next, but only if there is a REPLY kludge. Looks like this in Golded:

Umsgid         : 21                                                                                                            #
Reply          : 20                                                                                                            #
See            : 22, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0

And this happens when I run "squish link":

Any ideas? Does this happen on DOS, OS/2 or Windows too or is it a Linux specific bug?
