rc.local runs fine.  It is just that the HDHR which is initialized by
rc.local quit responding.  I never turn my system off so I would say that
the HDHR was probably running for several months before it suddenly became
unresponsive. The strange thing is that the last time it happened, it was
at about the same time of day thus missing one show late at night and the
show the next morning before it was discovered.

That said, I did notice the behavior in rc.local where if there is an error
it terminates. If I ever change it, I run it from the command line where I
can see the error messages.
