There is a warning not to update magic.sys. It states that for now it
does nothing sensible, but that in the future it may be a bit like the
apt dist-upgrade. Do not use it. It is a silly package.

It may or may not be responsible for your problem, but it's a good suspect.

I know that I'd cheerfully upgraded everything but that in red pill
mode many times without incident - until the week that the latest OS
came out, when I broke the browser. Maybe unrelated to the red pill,
maybe not.

Under the circumstances, I did a backup and flashed the new O/S.
