8 If an error occurs reading the acknowledgement of a "pull" request,
9 the request is deferred, and therefore resubmitted later. Meanwhile,
10 the foreign site has actrually succeeded in queueing the request, so
11 the file ultimately gets transferred twice.

14 If a pull request is successfully queued, but then the output driver
15 on the source site finds an access problem, the user is not notified
16 on the target i.e. originating system. Fixing this probably means
17 always sending a message to the target site whenever a request is
18 rejected by the driver, no matter where the request originated.

21 When the input driver terminates reception of an object at the
22 operator's request ie: QUIT/release, it should inform the remote
23 system's output driver. Otherwise, the remote system will continue
24 to transmit the object; the input driver, however, will ignore all
25 data and control records until the BOF record that indicates the
26 start of the next object. As a result, the output driver will
27 believe that the object was successfully transmitted when, in fact,
28 it was thrown into the bit-bucket.
