Nothing, they do have separate message ID's but our implementation
is getting confused about being a QM responder and initiator on
separate QM exchanges at the same time. I'll just have to fix it...

I just wanted to verify that the expected behavior is that you
must be able to support multiple QM exchanges simultaneously.

Feedback from the list has made that abundantly clear....
