     R. Kracht suggests that the Kracht-group comet C/2008 N4 is a return of
C/2002 S7, principally on the assumption that C/2002 S7 was itself a return
of one of C/1996 S5, C/1996 S4 or C/1996 S3 (see MPEC 2006-C49).  The orbit
below shows the result of linking C/2002 S7 and C/2008 N4.  This gravitational
linkage leads to a previous perihelion time of T = 1996 Dec. 6.00, earlier by
a few hours than the values for the aforementioned 1996 comets.

    C/2002 S7 = C/2008 N4 (SOHO)
