there has been only one other reference to this rumored bug, which was 
three weeks ago.

it's supposed to do that already

if you could, then please see if you still have a 
/var/spool/lunar/theedge.tar.bz2 (if you have theedge installed) or 
lunar.tar.bz2. Send me (sofar at lunar-linux.org) a copy of that file so I 
can crossreference. Also please send me the output of the following:

	lvu activity | grep -e lunar -e theedge -e moonbase | tail -100

this will hopefully provide me with some debugging info.
