I think BMH is not using a sig file.  The bottom line is that pan can do
what BMH wants, but he's doing something that does not work.
Unfortunately his explanation is unhelpful because his sig (as posted)
is not getting "more and more corrupted" so it's not at all clear what
he's seeing.

I've tried /not/ using a sig file and that also seems to work.  The
posting.xml configuration file /is/ written every time pan closes, but
it appears not to be getting corrupted.
