good idea on the laptop thing. I will try it. As for payback, I am
in arrears, no doubt, to all of the myth devs. I will be happy to do
some testing. Though I will do so tomorrow night , if you do not
mind. Its approaching midnight here. Is there any particular logging
switch I should be sure to have on?
Bonus data point: I found that it is not hitting E a second time that
causes the lock up, but hitting E after I have changed the channel.
