The method mask is only used for routing received unsolicited MADs. 
I.e. those that are not response MADs.  Any app can send a MAD and get 
its response.  Only one app is allowed to receive a non-response MAD.

As for the problem that you mention, I don't understand the behavior 
that you're seeing.
