Matt,

This seems so obvious, I almost refused to reply. But of course, the obvious
is usually what bites you.

At some time, bitdefender got removed from my conf file. It was so simple, I
just couldn't look there to begin with. I don't know when I removed it,
though. I do know the update script caused me a little problem, so maybe it
was then.

Thanks, Matt, for making me blush. I deserve it.

Happy new year to all.
