It seems this was just a misunderstanding on what the "squeeze"-code
does.  The reason it had to be changed is so that messages with
time-stamps could be received out-of-order.  I am guessing (but would
have to look into it in more detail) that the intention could be
implemented more elegantly than by calling fill-region on a specific
region.
