Thanks Ross,
It is good to know this isn't an isolated problem - and I too had been
"nuking" failed installs, starting with the July 2013 galaxy-dist but also
the August galaxy-dist. Maybe that will help Dave reproduce it?
I like your name "white ghost" for this since the "new" entry is shown on
with a white background (it didn't show up in the HTML email sadly).
