maybe a yes there, but take note I wasn't recording, therefore no 
file change as we read it.  It ran last night with no such 
messages.  Also, lots of killed time, so I moved it up to 0215 and 
0216.  It doesn't take long to do <40k of config stuff :-)

Hopefully, all I have to do now to recover is to dd to /dev/null 
about 38 times and read the last two files before EOT, then install 
that data, rewind and amrecover.

Once I *really* get the hang of how this works, I think I'll have to 
agree.  So far, my recoveries have been 100% dd driven because of 
this.
