Keith responded saying that my "catcher" would break lots of things.  I
thought I must have missed something, so I sent Keith a message.  I
didn't make it clear in my original message that the "catcher" looks
for the virus, and if the message is not the virus, it will pass it
along to the shell as normal.

Keith responded:
