Having looked at it rather closer, I see that we are dealing with a
"script kiddie". Doing a "grepdbg selfspotter", selecting one of the
callsigns returned and doing a "grepdbg <call>" shows a remarkable
correlation between a "self spot" and then a PC41/1 "Selfspotter"
magically appearing within a few seconds (either before or after the
spot - vagaries of network). 

This really is not on. Please stop it.
