> I'm sure Randy will now be able to complete his update.

i did.  

[ separate subject: why should i bother maintaining a copy of my
  objects in ripe too, when they are already in one of the 18 other
  irr servers? ]

bingo!  i kept (emacs) searching for occurances of 'as3130',
looking for other diagnostics, ...  i sent the message back to
ripe-dmb and had all weekend to stare at the darned thing while
waiting for a reply, and nada, nicht, zippo.

so i posted the message to db-wg at ripe.net, and had an answer in
five minutes or less.  FYI, Peter Koch was first in my mailbox, but
i have not compared sender timestamps and don't know if the sending
machines run ntp anyway:-).

thanks all.
