        Please, before you change the set up, run the few commands Alan (and I 
asked for) so we can get a rough idea what was happening. This smells like a 
bug in sqm-scripts and I would love to either confirm and fix it or get 
sqm-scripts acquitted ;)

So I would fully understand if any testing will have to wait until the weather 
permits outdoor activity again ;)
