And that explains that.  Thanks.

I don't believe I hit that one, what might the symptoms be?

Now that's going to be a problem, Chris.  I have it doing a probe right now, 
that will probably still be running this time tomorrow.  In order to get the 
edges of an irregular shaped piece, like the floor plate of my deer rifle, it 
is going to be a total miss for about 10% of the probes.  If it aborts on a 
full miss, then my 48 line program will have to be broken down into numerous 
additional subroutines to prevent its ever going off the edge of the piece.
So this is one item that should somehow be selectable so it can be disabled.

Also, to Alex, I am logged into the wiki site, but it is still read-only.  The 
confirmation message I tried to reply to from this box since this is the mail 
sucker machine, but got an error, so I printed it and took the number to the 
box I'd submitted the login request from, and it also errored.  So I'm a bit 
confused about that.  And cannot update a read-only wiki.

The error was either a bad confirmation number, or it had already been 
confirmed.  And it did let me login ok after that.
