Both of you have confirmed the bug - because the correct behaviour has
no error messages, and you both got messages. Neither of you was able
to reproduce getting a text-dependent number of messages, but both of
you see buggy behaviour so it's easy to reproduce a problem to investigate.
Nobody wants to investigate this bug further?
