I wondered about that, but I have these boxes confiured with only one filesystem
for everything apart from mysql data.

A good one, and one which makes me wonder if theres some shared library config
which isnt happening and maybe that is it ?

Am going to do an experiment to see if the same behaviout occurs on a real
hardware machine not in Azure - which might make it easier to debug as I can
at least see the console that way.
