The situation:
- standard laptop with fossil+venti
- dead fossil (filled up, can't boot the machine at this point as fossil
  is full -- not sure yet why this keeps happening ...)
- I lost the venti score file I was keeping
- Plan is to boot the bootable cd, do the hget of the index,
  do the 8.printarenas thing, get a good vac, and restore fossil.

Do I take the lastest or the firstest vac that gets printed when I do the
8.printarenas ?

If I boot the CD, and I do this:
venti/conf /dev/sdC0/arenas0 > /tmp/v.conf I get this:
index main
areas /dev/sdC0/arenas0
areas /dev/sdC0/arenas1
isect /dev/sdC0/isect0
isect /dev/sdC0/isect1

which matches the machine as it has been running.

I have no venti environment variable at this point.
If I run
venti/venti -c /tmp/v.conf

I get this:

err 2: mistmatched number index sections: found 2 expected 1
fatal venti error blah blah blah

Not sure what this is, anyone seen it?
