[hylafax-users] Corrupt incoming faxes

[Patrick Contreras <pg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I was running HylaFax 4.1.8 under RedHat 9.0 (most packages recompiled) 
and everything worked perfectly.
I recently redid the server using Fedora Core 1, building the same 
packages I had under RedHat 9.0.  All the hardware is the same, 
including my modem, a U.S. Robotics Courier V.Everything External.  Now 
the incoming faxes are corrupt.  I've checked the .tif images in the 
recvq directory and they're all bad, having either invalid headers or 
just showing garbage at the very top and the rest blank.

Here are some relevent lines from my system log:

Does anybody have any ideas of what might possibly be the problem here?
