Thank you.  It's better than nothing I suppose; at least I'm not left
here scratching my head, as I can look into those places you suggested.
Anyway, if possible I'd still like to know why `GNUNET_SERVICE_start'
adds a handler for that type of message. It's convenient for the core
which might actually use those messages, but unless there is another
reason you might want to add it from a function not used to deal with
third-party applications too.  I mean, it's still adding a handler for
message type 6 which might be an application-specific message type...

Thanks,
