Guys, I decided to back up the disk this morning before sending it
aloft.  

Sorry for disrupting your plans, but I did not want to risk a
catastrophe in the middle of the observing if we had to rebuild the
disk from the old backup plus Martin's changes.  I am making a disk,
plus we have it safely on disk on
/home/rxlab/etc/testdata/FlaskDisk/ccb_backup.110805.gz
