I checked with ghudson to verify when vortex-diag is run.
He set it up to happen only when one does the update.
This means that if we install at 9.0.25, it won't run.
(Not a problem for now.)
The case I'm worried about is if people run the floppy we've been
distributing all this time, with them and us both having thought
that nothing bad ever happens if you quit before giving the first
IP address.
