Ok, now we've done this, but apop still doesn't work.... 
keeps complaining about needing a data base... argh

Well, we have a data base - it's called a TCB. 
Yes, we're running C2.

So, it appears that while popper itself recognizes and uses the TCB
correctly, APOP apparently totally and completely ignores it.

Is this true? Has any body coded around the problem.
