Isn't that rather effectively bypassed when the second loadrt is in the
postgui stuff?

If its fixed, its not arrived in the armhf version of master, which was
updated yesterday on that machine. And I've not heard of the NOTWOPASS
option ever before today.
I'll leave it running w/o the TWOPASS, and continue with my bedwear
stuff. I'm building that one step at a time since I might have to
actually use that lathe for something else while I'm working on the
bedwear comp.
Thanks Dewey.
