+[*** 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
