That's good to hear.  W2K tells me I don't have permission to kill the
process, despite having all admin privileges, so I'll look into that now.
Soon, this database will move to Linux or BSD, I hope.

I'm asking myself the same question... ;-)  I really don't remember.  The
last time I changed the config was when I started using Innodb, four or five
months ago.  Don't know what the heck I was thinking.

I noticed some of your other messages about that.  It's probably time for me
to update.

Thanks very much.  I really appreciate the speed with which you respond (not
just to my messages, I read the list regularly).
