At this point I think it is, unless anyone else notices

That was my gut reaction, but then I ran man on somethign, and it
seemed to take an awfully long time to format.  I'm not sure what the

Oops, that was supposed to include the logfile quote:

Starting the second stage of the update at Mon May 22 18:16:12 EDT 2000.
Updating version
Running mkserv.
Could not initialize Zephyr library: Hostmanager not responding.

FWIW, I didn't see teh problem updating from 8.4.1 to 8.4.2, but that
wasn't a miniroot update either.
