Ah... I think I have it...

When I first logged into the 0.3.2 client, I saw in my login window  
popup options not only:

        public GNUmed database
        local GNUmed database

but also three more:

        GNUmed database on this machine (Windows)
        GNUmed database on this machine (Linux/Mac)
        GNUmed database at salaam.homeunix.com

The last three come from

        /GNUmed-0.3.2/client/gm-from-cvs.log

Evidently clients (from tarball) at loading, will pre-populate the  
connection options first from

        /etc/gnumed/gnumed-client.conf (if it exists)

where mine happened specify v8 inevident from the profile name; below  
this get appended profiles from

        /client/gm-from-cvs.log

These values are all read each time, so that if one renames or  
deletes or comments out profiles in

        /etc/gnumed/gnumed-client.conf (if it exists)

then these will not show up the next time the client is run from  
tarball. However in order to not disturb people who may still use the  
earlier client (say, production) on the same machine it is wiser to  
leave /etc/gnumed/gnumed-client.conf unchanged and just know to pick  
from profiles that reside lower-down in the list :-)
