	Ahrrrm. I think my original problem was a little more
	than *benign*, since it rendered the machine useless, 
	having effectively hung up the boot cycle when the 
	strayint was found. I suspect you are referring to the
	_conventional_ problem, in which (I've heard) just writes
	messages now and then.....

	Anyhow....

Cheers, Colin.
