 I think that fixed it, at least for my setup.  Thanks.

 I've tried several times.  I'm pretty sure that the old setup would have
 hung, but it's hard to be sure.

 The key step in the make-it-hang recipe, at least for my system, is to
 leave the XO off "long enough".  In the past, an hour has been plenty.
 I've given it at least an hour several times.  It has always worked fine.

 I'll keep trying.  Maybe I'll switch back to the old firmware to verify
 that my recipe still works.
