Bah.  Failures will always occur at the one point where you cannot
recover gracefully.  I firmly believe in Murphy's Law.

I'll stick to udl; rebuilding hard drives from scratch has taught me
caution.  Of course, directory recusion for udl would be nice ...
Another nice thing about udl; it's source is very portable.  Any delays
when running on a Sun 4 are inconsequential.
