Sorry if I was misunderstood, but I DID use the 1.64 password file
when I upgraded to 1.65 and I did convert it.  Only later did it
become corrupted and need to be rebuilt.  But at that point, I
couldn't build a password file with 1.65 which worked, so I had to
go back to the 1.64 file again anyway.
