Hmmm, I had not thought of it taking that long.  I had been waiting about
2-3 minutes, and watching the clock bar spinning extremely slowly (about
one segment per 30 seconds or so), and after that was thinking it was not
going to do anything.  I will let it set longer and see if that actually
finishes.  How long should it actually take, once it starts loading?
