OK, thanks for the feedback.  Knowing it's working ok for you made me 
try that stuff, and eventually led me to reboot.  Upon boot up, I got 
caught by a fsck failure and had to do the whole fsck.  Apparently, some 
files were bad and now seem to be fixed.  So, it wasn't ff, just some 
broken files.

Thanks for the replies.

regards,

Paul
