new "at size" clause in export snapshot

[Chris Sheffield]

Thanks, Jan. Making that change at least allowed my script to compile. Unfortunately, I got a run-time error. So something is still up. However, import snapshot works. I just had to take an extra step to deal with the created image.

I’ll get a bug report submitted asap.

Thanks,
Chris
