 Joyride 2482.  I get all those bundle-MANIFEST warnings (that I can do
 nothing about).  Then the command is "Checking" things.  Then no terminal.

 Started up another instance of Terminal, tried to run 'olpc-log' -- then
 *that* Terminal disappeared.

 Could it be the "out-of-memory" logic that is doing this to me?  [On the
 same system, 'sugar-control-panel -g available_updates' works fine in
 763.]

 [manually made tar of the 'logtemp' directory left over from the never-
 finished 'olpc-log']

 --------

 Seems to me there is now a DEPENDENCY on the content of the
 Activities/Joyride page in the wiki.

 What needs to be done is to appoint a CZAR in charge of that page -- only
 the czar can make changes to the page -- and only *after* having himself
 tested that the graphic and CLI upgrade-scripts work with the new content.

 Otherwise, an injudicious change to that page might cause hundreds of
 users to run into trouble.
