[Box Backup] version 0.06PLUS2

[Adrian]

Correction to 4. below.  It does not quit immediately if the daemon has just
been started.  If the daemon has been running for a while it will kill it
even while it is communicating with the server.

Could it be that it will not stop during the initial directory compare
phase??
