--------------------------------------------------------+-------------------
 While running a sugar-jhbuild instance on the collabora.co.uk server, my
 activity "Acoustic Tape Measure" stopped working.  I looked at the logs,
 and noted that the activity had received a notification that its name had
 been changed to "HelloMesh".  At that moment, morgs had started an
 instance of HelloMesh on the same server, and the creation announcement
 had somehow "leaked" into my private channel.

 This behavior has only been seen once.  It represents a major violation of
 Sugar's networking abstractions.  In the wild, it is unlikely to do more
 than crash activities, unless it can be parlayed into a security bug.
