Thanks.

Turns out the issue was unrealted to the machine crash. I am cycling in a
series of new tapes, and it looks like I will have to manually take one out
of tapelist every day till that is finished. It had 25 entries in it, not
25, as it should.

BTW, I have tried to post a message with logfiles pertaining to my network
issues 3 times, starting yesterday, and still don't see it coming back from
the list. I have tried making them atchements, and puting them in the body.
Is there a size limit?
