Yes.  I wish that a decision could be made to remove the tombstone
files, they are control information placed smack in the middle of the
data channel withouth any identifying markers, and cause no end of
pain.  I try to clean them out after each rsync of drafts from the
master repository, but this one for unknown reasons hasn't been caught
by the regex pattern which is supposed to find tombstones.

I've cleaned the tombstones out now, and the pages should be OK again.

Ah.  Right.  I'll have a look at that.


Best,
