Oops, correction: the ADT^A24 is properly formatted and does
contain the required PID segments.  I was missing the latter half
of the message with cut&paste because of the carriage returns
without linefeeds.

Also, the Message Tester Swing app goes into an infinite loop
(ie., hangs) also when trying to parse this message.

I've attached a sanitized version below of a message that causes
this loop.
