Learn something every day.  Funny, it has been a long time since I had
to reinstall Linux.  It just runs and runs and runs and runs and runs
and runs and runs. . . . . .

I did check and it was changed to a regular file on mine too.  I guess
it did that itself during the update.  I don't remember doing it anyway.

Thanks for the correction.
