Yes - I checked the Reporter throwback code, and cannot see how it could
have gone wrong. But I have been blind before!

Great - one oddity resolved.

I have been wondering the same thing. It was during a development
session, so many things had started, some aborted, some errored, most
ended normally, including Reporter and Z?p. It looks as if Reporter did
not do the throwback, but I have no idea what did. 

And it has not happened since. I will post if it does.
