[pca] Failed (no Sun Online Account data)

I've been doing wget downloads for months.  Every so often, they stop working
and I have to resort to downloading from SunSolve.  Fortunately, with your voice
around, I have come to expect the irregular "update account" dance that has
to be done so I can continue to use PCA.

Thanks,

Ben
