I see. FYI sys(2015) duplication on fast computers are reported (I haven't yet see myself - mine counts as a very slow box these days).
PS: MP boxes might duplicate it as well. However under normal circumstances unlikely.
I wonder how you can have a unique stationID ? Wouldn't it at least require 6 bytes ?
