This problem has gone away.  Unless the HPFS386 drivers, or the
increased CDROM cache, or the fact that I think I might have taken
it out of the startup group and put it in again for some reason
(I remember mucking around with something in the startup group)
somehow fixed the problem, I don't know how I did it.  If it 
happens again, I'll see if I have any more info, otherwise I won't
seek to find out the underlying cause.  BFN.  Paul.
