Ah, that'll be it. Setup is a notoriously late riser, and if you try and
get it out of bed that early in the morning you shouldn't be surprised if it's
grouchy and cranky all the rest of the day.

Take a look at the setup.ini it downloaded, and see what's around line
10196. The one I just downloaded from a mirror doesn't even have that many
lines, so maybe a glitch made a buggy version of it available for a little
while.
