It is possible that you ran into a bug that slipped into 1.37.40 concerning
the fact that it opens all drives initially in read-only mode. This was
fixed shortly after 1.37.40 was released. I recommend that you move up to
the current CVS, which is essentially the final release, or wait a day or two
until the official source is released.
By the way, I'm pleased to see that the SD has run almost a month now on your
site :-)
