Well, I waited hours. Top reported pan was just idling along. Task 
manager list was empty. Manually invoking "load new headers" instantly 
started consuming more resources and showing status line activity.

Automatic load on selection of a group *does* produce a "scoring" and 
"filtering" and "updating header pane" followed by the expected prior 
full listing headers. And then followed by "loading new headers" and 
repeat of the prior display sequence.

Studying stderr and status window shows errors occurring. At least one 
says, "Please report to address@hidden" so its time for me to put a report 
together.
