I took another look at AP code and noticed that it copies data from the 
original file in a  different manner on Linux, so the progress bar 
behaviour won't necessarily be the same.  Sorry about that.  Linux 
builds use splice() to copy unchanged data from the original file to the 
temp file.  I though that might be a potential trouble spot if, say, 
splice() were hanging on a pipe read/write, but I couldn't generate any 
hangs, so that was moot.  Tossing this one into the Bermuda Triangle.
