Hi Doug,

Did you have a transcript open? I had an installation failure due to a
transcript output in a "wrong place" (e.g., somewhere halfway through the
installation). I think the only solution here is to close all open
transcripts before filing it in (we can automate this in the install
script) - clearly having text output going on while we're replacing half of
the string hierarchy is bound to cause a few problems ;-)

Cheers,
  - Andreas
