	Ok, well, I went back and played with the 10/25/1999 snapshot dll,
	and setting nontsec vs ntsec.  If I use nontsec, this mode
	causes the dll to change permissions on files I write out such that
	I can't write to those files again.  If I leave it in ntsec mode and
	add appropriate /etc/passwd entries, it works, but file access is
	slower, presumable because it is looking up permissions.

	Is there any way to get the snapshot to work under "nontsec" as the
	CD version did?

	I'm not real clear on what it means when you say that the DLL
	is compatible, but the library and object files may not be, but
	I'm guessing there is something else I need to do when I play
	with snapshots.
