Just a word of warning...Rick's program has some problems.  It leaves a file
lock on one of it's files, and doesn't check when creating the file.  This
means that it can't be run a second time.  The net result seems to be a zero
(error) return code is being used as a file lock, and the benchmark program
tries to use DF0: instead of what it was given.  Still investigating....
