Jason, Scott,

Sorry, I was researching something else for the past two hours.

Well, danged if I know what is going on either.  However, the given
server is at NESCent and I can probably get the same access to it that
Jason has.  I'll see what I can do.

In the meantime, if either of you two has new insights please do
share.  It may take me a while to get access.

Thanks,

Dave C.
