Observations:
1) Transfers complete successfully and files are received/applied as expected
2) This behavior has been reproduced across multiple systems, including:
 * Mystic (various versions: A47, A48, A49)
 * Internet Rex
Other systems (e.g., binkd, binkIT) do not exhibit this behavior
The issue appears to be caused by the remote system not sending M_GOT prior to M_EOB, rather than a failure in BinkIT

Example log excerpt:

Impact: 
* No functional impact (files are transferred and processed correctly)
* However, the log entry is flagged as a warning/error, which may be misleading and imply a failed or incomplete transfer
Suggestion

If the transfer completes successfully and the file is handled correctly, consider:

* Downgrading this condition from a warning/error to a notice/debug message, or
* Adding additional context to clarify that the issue is due to non-compliant peer behavior rather than a transfer failure
