It seems to be working - at least it's sitting there and working the CPU
hard.  I had a false failure when I was trying to use "treeadd" rather
than "addtree" - it just exits silently rather than complaining about a
bad command.

Hm, it has taken over an hour so far, and generated just on 5000
packets.  I think it will finish soon, but I have no way of telling.

I was wondering.  I didn't think it looked right, but I'd thought I'd
give it a go.

I'll try it out when the addtree finishes.
