[ic] Wanted: No database upload at IC start

Are you using SQL or dbm?

Assuming SQL, a 0-byte file in the products/ directory should be created 
after a successful import, named for the text data table with a '.sql' 
extension.  For example, the products.txt is read and the products.sql 
file is created.

The presence of this file should prevent the text file from being read 
again.  In fact, if you want to restore a table from the text file, you 
remove the *.sql file and restart...
