Understandable. It was the first thing that I thought of as well.

Same here. That was a typo in the email. I was switching back and forth
between consoles and I guess I looked at the wrong line.

Anyway, it turns out that it was a hard drive problem. I tried twice on
the old drive, both times it failed in the same way. Built it on the new
drive and it worked like a charm. I can't figure out what could have been
wrong, but that seems to have been the cause.

Again, thanks for the help.
