I didn't really think about at the time, it was a bit early :-)  But,
once it failed it did make me think about what I had done.  I am happy
if it is documented as a caveat.  The main reason I posted to the list
was so that others who had had the same failure would know that it was
possible to recover from it easily.

I still think portmaster is a great tool!

Thanks Doug.


Cheers,
       Nick.
