Yes both config versions 3 and 4 do not download a curnit jar.  However, 
for UDL you want to use 3 because it uses the OTrunk view system.

You might want to run through it a bit and make sure all of the services 
are working properly:
- make sure scripts work
- make sure pop otrunk windows work
- test something that uses a shared "real object"

Basically it goes through a different path through the code so there 
might be some small startup differences we have to work out.  I tried to 
minimize the duplicate code, so there shouldn't be too many differences.

Yes I would guess it is merely a symptom of a network error.   However, 
the other downloading code might provide a bit more information when it 
fails.   So by removing the curnit download you might get an error 
elsewhere that provides a better clue about what is happening.
