   NEVERMIND.  Looking at the DIFF files and reading about how they work,   
   the first line of the new diff *has* to match the first line of the   
   previous full nodelist to which it applies.   
      
   The first line of the full .038 from Ambrosia (Z2) does not match the   
   first line of Tommi's .038.   
      
   Apparently, freq'ing for NODELIST from Tommi's sytem produces a DAILY   
   version (which I only realized a couple weeks ago), which according to   
   the first line discovery above, will not be a match for next week.   
      
   In the past, I had noticed that the order of the zone segments were   
   different depending on where I grabbed "the" nodelist.  I attributed   
   that to a "my zone is better than your zone" thing, or to a timing issue   
   when each zone segment arrived for "global" processing.  I put that   
   matter behind me.  But it didn't occur to me that they wouldn't work   
   with "the" scheduled diff later on.   
      
   In the past, I thought there was only one "full" global nodelist. Now   
   there is a version for each zone. I am not sure if that is an   
   improvement. When did the zone-specific versions start?
