I think so, but I now see that was understandable, because I had failed to

and so wondered whether it was a deficiency in the above line that accounted 
for the endless loop. But it now seems it was something else, and so if I would 
want to further investigate it seems I should retry and, after a delay, 
interrupt the process and inspect the log …
