Hi Jeff,
First let me say that I really appreciate all the feedback and I'm sorry
that Sup keeps breaking in annoying ways for you. Thanks for being
patient. Users like you are an asset!

Ok, here's my first problem. :)

I believe this happens when Sup dies in the process of "saving index and
sources...". The right answer is to remove all possible the sources of
error in that process, but maybe I can also change the code to be a
little more resilient. Let me take a look.

Sup writes a sources.yaml.bak for this very reason. I put it in in
earlier, even buggier days when this often happened to me.
