Good news. The latest Bonfire build installed and ran successfully on the host. The account reset seems to have done the ticket. My host just put in new machines and it looks like there might have been bugs yet. They take the trouble to keep their system up to date with the latest LAMP architecture so I have to give them some wiggle room there. I know that can't be at all easy for such a large client base as they have.
