Thanks for this.

Starting from a command line results in the dump below. Can anything
be discerned from it?  (I deleted the long memory map, which I will
post if anyone thinks it would be useful.)  

I renamed the .pan directory as suggested, and pan then works.
I guess if there is no better suggestion, I'll restore the
.pan directory and start moving out files, starting with the
latest modified (tomorrow at standard -0500).

Mike.
