Well, the sbsd is a bit smaller and is a week old, while the regular
bookmark file is today's date. So I've simply deleted it. If
something's wrong, I'll put it out of the recycle bin. And I've done
the same with the smxCat.smx files, and all appears to be OK. Of
course, I don't know what to look for; and since have just made the
weekly drive image will watch it for a few days.
