@dholmes-ora Thanks for looking at this in detail.  It does a lot during initialization error so useful to be cautious.  I was thinking of maybe having a diagnostic option to turn it off in case some application down the line finds it's doing too much or one that has a lot of initialization errors that blow up the table.
