They are kept in a spool directory, which erases them shortly after they
become unimportant.  The first transmission request, for #18, came while
they were there back to #8, so I sent him what he asked for.  The second
request came at a point that only those after #30 were there, so I
couldn't fill it.

Can't do it for you either.

Maybe we keep around the last two deltas?
