Sorry. A 'Reply' didn't send it where I expected it to...

Fair enough. But I never saved the tail when the problem occured. I can
now extract this again from the info log (getting everything between
11:06 to 11:08 which should be within the problem time...).

not to send a unprivatized file to the list...
