- Sorry but it does hang the system. I tried ctrl-esc (etc) even ctrl-alt-del
- failed to reboot. But you are correct. If you give it a file the first time
- it seems to be OK afterword. It "remembers" the file and recalls it if
- you don't give it a file name on startup. This is definitely a BUG and to
- my mind a very bad one!
