Slim possibility I suppose, although up to 0319 seemed ok other than the 
symptoms of tar ignoring '--no-device-check' may have snuck in a bit earlier.  
But I was all caught up by the time I'd tested 0327 and it had worked, then 
0330->up bombed.  I looked at the patch, and my, I must say that looks like a 
fairly major re-write.  Any chance one of those 64 long longs is getting 
'union'ized by accident?  I've used a union a few times in my old code, but it 
seems to quadruple the attention to housekeeping required.

I was getting lazy (sorry) and hadn't been building every snapshot, and had 
skipped maybe 2 out of 3 for a while as I was concentrating on getting a 
bluetooth usb dongle working.  Got that finally, then the woof asks me if can 
I build a rhumba box like we saw a stroke victim playing at the senior center 
thursday, & I was dumb enough to say yes. :)  Only this one is bigger by quite 
a bit than anything I found plans for on the net.  My version will be a wee 
bit stronger I think, rather than just a 3/8 strip for a glue block inside to 
glue the 5.2mm plywood edge to edge, I'm putting in a strip of cherry that is 
rabbeted so the plywood edges are hidden.  That should give a more durable 
corner for wear and tear.  The sound is made by a length of steel lumber 
strapping held in a wooden strip glued & screwed to the front face, each one a 
different length for tuning, with the ends covered by some sort of wide scotch 
88 type tape so the player doesn't get cut fingers.  I ought to have a lot of 
fun tuning that against one of my crystal controlled keyboards. :)  Closely 
miked, it sounds amazingly like a big standup Bass fiddle being slap plucked.  
But I haven't figured out how to bow those straps.  The bro-in-law had a 
stroke and lost his right side about 5 years ago, and he was at the time, an 
accomplished Bass player in high demand around Ithaca NY where they live.  He, 
I hope, might enjoy this.

Nothing to do with amanda though.  When I get it done, I'll put some pix I've 
been taking all along up on my web page at <http://gene.homelinux.net:85/gene>
That is this machine, vz's TOS is ignored.

Can I supply anything else from the logs?
