Thanks.  I appreciate the qualifications, and agree that there are,
indeed, always bugs.  Okay; I think I'll make one last check of my own
through the buglist (so it won't be your fault if I muck up my data :-)),
and if nothing turns up that scares me I will run the scrub and see what
happens.  Hmmm; maybe update ONE of the two backups first.  It's at times
like this when I really miss relatively cheap backup tapes (current tapes
that I've seen aren't relatively cheap).
