A little problem when receiving FAXes from CompuServe ...

Hi all,

I just discovered a little problem when receiving FAXes created
by a CompuServe user. It seems that the CompuServe "Sender ID"
garbles the filename creation for the spooled G3 fax files:

                             ^
                             +-- this "/" seems to be the problem

    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^-- these should've gone to
                       /usr/local/lib/fax/incoming in my setup...

Any idea why this happened, and how I can fix this?

(No, I haven't had the chance to check the source so far. I'm out for
 training the whole week ;-)

Regards,
