Howdy @Deuce 

I'm tracking down why my session with clrghouz are finishing failed - and it appears only with Synchronet binkit.

I think its because binkit advertises 1.1, but it doesnt send a final round of EOB and wait for EOB.

In the following outbound session:

```
root@alterant:/opt/sbbs# jsexec -L10 binkit -l 516:1/0

JSexec v3.21a-Linux master/b7d3db6c3 - Execute Synchronet JavaScript Module

```

Since it received a file from me `000e5343.pkt` shouldnt it have sent another S_EOB indicating that there is nothing else (in case it processed that file)? (This is what I see other BINKP implementations do - I always see two EOBs from the remote).

I see the same problem on an inbound session - binkit tears down the session before sending a final round of EOBs.

From: FSP-1024
`The binkp/1.1 protocol defines multiple batches, this means that
   after a batch ends (M_EOB frame sent) the mailer checks the 
   outbound for new files and starts a new batchs if files are found.`
