Adam, Alex,
 
% unhide proc
% unhide brute
 
continue to report no problems.
 
% unhide
 
is just a call to 'usage' and exit.
 
I am inclined to the advice of Alex Hudson, who writes that unhide is bound to be racey on virtual machines.

Thanks for your help, both. 
 
Cheers,
Max

What about 'unhide proc' or 'unhide brute' or just 'unhide' ?
