That's what you think, but I think differently. BTW, in bug reports
it is usual to specify the version you are reporting.

How is MiniVend suppsed to know you have a different userdb default
table? Well, it can't read your mind or your HTML, but you can
specify the default in catalog.cfg with:

	UserDB  default  database  some_other_table

This is in the docs, by the way. I have tried very, very, hard to
put no hard-coded values in the MV code. Yet I must have some
sort of default, and userdb is it. If you want it to be something
else, then you have to specify it.
