env^R just hung with with coloured wheel.  So I forced quit TM and  
restarted it (from Finder).

The env^R showed HOME and USER set up as expeced.  LOGNAME does not  
exist.  ^h for ruby help and running ruby now works as expected.

TM had only been running for a few hours before I noticed these  
problems and I hadn't been doing anything 'difficult'.

I am happy to poke around some more if you have anything you want me  
to look at.

Thanks,
Dave.
