I didn't really think about at the time, it was a bit early :-) But,
once it failed it did make me think about what I had done. I am happy
if it is documented as a caveat. The main reason I posted to the list
was so that others who had had the same failure would know that it was
possible to recover from it easily.
I still think portmaster is a great tool!
Thanks Doug.
Cheers,
Nick.
