Hi Michael, 219-5 is MUCH MUCH better. If I type the wrong password it's 
a bit glitchy (prints multiple prompts and starts a service to dispatch 
password prompts but then holds after a spurious prompt or two). I 
didn't wait to see if there was a hidden timeout. I got the system 
booted in one try which is a first.

So far so good here.
