Thanks, Eric.  I'll try it again with my personal password.  I had
hesitated to do that due to the nature of the error report.  I'll
probably also try to get knowledgeable, cooperative subscribers who
do not have personal passwords to try it also (not doubting your word,
just looking for practical reports on how it works).
