hatches!

Thanks to the fine clue in the last sentence of the IncrediblyFast responder:

I looked up the various config files' locales under Release notes. Fired up X-Pad (the neat Radsoft replacement for brain-dead Notepad: which displays properly formatted cookie files, among other things). Looked at dates on some of these and zeroed in on a file, cook.perm.txt which seemed to contain some rilly-old bad ju-ju - if not exactly a smoking Dubya.

Renamed the sucker. Killed 1.4. Started 1.4: Yahoo happy!
{sigh} ... so far. Save nuking a Profile with whateverTF-else might have gotten nuked too, long since forgotten; Uninstall, Reinstall. Lazy.

Will send note to My Bug after a few more trials. Thanked Mr. Speedy. If I didn't know better, I'd almost imagine self competent :-\ufffd [Hah] Spelled l-u-c-
