Austin,
   Thanks. I *think* you are suggesting what I already did. A clean
install of 0.9.57 and then a TS install. At that point running TS
itself hangs or exhibits other problems. I didn't feel driven to go
further. If the install doesn't work then for a program as big and
complicated as TS there are likely to be too many other problems so
I'll likely jsut file the install bug and see what comes from that.

   Thanks very much for your ideas. I do appreciate the inputs.

Cheers,
Mark
