So do tell - now that you're in, can you see another user?  It seems pretty
hard to imagine that it doesn't at least _think_ you gave it a user name.

There have been reports like this before, but usually the poster simply
can't _remember_ giving a user name.  If you now have a system where the
only non-system-user is the one you just created, that's pretty strong
evidence that it really does happen.
