4.53.7, endless loop in debug mode

[Anthony Peacock]

Hi Julian,

Thanks for this.

Replacing the previous Message.pm with this new one seems to have fixed 
the problem.

I placed the saved queue files that were causing the problem yesterday 
in the incoming queue, and MS ran without hitch, both in debug mode and 
in normal operation.

I will keep and eye on this and get back if I noticed any further glitches.
