Good afternoon, Randy.

No, I haven't tried that yet.  I'm a little nervous about doing that with 
three of the four __db.00x files still showing as open (using 
lsof).  That's why I'm wondering if I should reboot first... not 
necessarily guaranteed from two towns away so I'm putting it off until I 
can drop what I'm doing and drive over there if the remote reboot fails.

If you think I can just blow away the __db.00x files even though they are 
open, I'll try that...
