I get it now, it's a timeout!  I don't blame it.  I get tired of waiting
for the "OK" following ".....Enterprise Volume Management System..."
(whatever that is) myself. ;-)

Sometimes I could go do laundry or watch some TV and come back just as
the "OK" appears after "......Enterprise Volume...."

BTW, I've Googled that term and came up empty.  It also was a problem in
Hoary.
