other hand the code may work without, in a compatible way. This bit hasn't
been very well tested (the 'no Storable' condition that is).
+[*** NOTE ***] make sure that you do an 'export_user' BEFORE restarting
+you node. (Yes I know this is like a shrinkwrap licence, but I can't
+help it).

It will take several minutes for the node to restart when it does the
conversion from .v2 to .v3 user file. Please go and have a good strong cup
of tea whilst this is happening.

+If it fails then you will need to edit your latest user_asc file on (or about)
+line 25 it says: $ref = decode($f[1]); you will need to change that to
+$ref = asc_decode($f[1]); and then do: perl user_asc

1. moved the export of the users file to Wednesday night (GMT) to avoid
possible crashes and/or delays during a contest weekend.
