Dear Edgar,

I am sorry but you appear to have found what I think is called a minor 
bug, the host string is not matching the persisted string for some 
reason. Simple bugs like that can be fixed in a moment.

This moment is nothing compared to the 70 or so hours I have invested in 
the rest of the code.

Merging code from 4 repositories, I may have missed a thing or two. 
Especially when the code you are merging is modifying the tool that you 
are using to perform the merge! Not to worry the working code is out 
there somewhere. The PasswordManager is not my code, it comes from 
Andreas. As I said it worked for me.

Incidently, I forgot to include the atomic loading code in that last 
release, and so have got my self into refactoring it and making it work 
really well.

Monticello is has some pretty cool code in it, I take my hat off to the 
writers. I just think it is such a shame that it basically doesnt work 
as it should. When you see it working as it should you realise what you 
have been missing!

If I am wrong then, and Monticello 1.5 ;-) doesnt cut the mustard, then 
the joke is on me for a wasted week.
If I am right then Monticello 2 will have some tough competition.

Best regards

Keith
