  Well, I tend to agree with Ryan Pierce in that if SeqReset-GapFill messages were required to have the PossDupFlag set to 'Y', then a sequence of GapFill messages such as 5 -10 followed by 5 - 11 would be handled correctly by the regular PossDup - SeqNumber checking part of any implementation.

By the way, if people, upon detecting a message gap, followed the second suggested course of action from the FIX specs:

 "if the receiver misses the second of five messages sent, messages 3-5 can be ignored and a resend request generated for messages 2-5 OR MESSAGED 3-5 CAN BE SAVED AND ONLY MESSAGE 2 RESENT"

Then this problem would not occur, right ? But I guess since both methods are acceptable then this is a mute point.
