Yeah, predict (2.1.3 from source) says it will never reach AOS but is
still moving and is currently at an altitude of -527 km.  It appears to
be burrowing in.   I wonder if it will eventually come back out the
other side :^)

I didn't realize that 2.1.3 was in unstable.  I guess I should check
sid more often (running woody here).
