Just fyi -- I've been kept off of the finger code for the past couple of
days (and for a couple of more days) thanks to an RSA ACE/Server deciding
to die together with its replica...

I hope to be able to write some tiny bits of code on Sunday, and I'll post
it here for review/comments/etc.

Regards,
+ Kim
