Visitor tail-draggin' another 3 days, at least

Falcon 9 launch of Dragon capsule delayed a minimum of 3 days after
chamber pressure issues at T - 1/2 sec.

If the in-flight testing sequence isn't changed, and the catch-up orbit
isn't faster, that means a 3-day delay for arrival at ISS (to state the
obvious).

Today's launch window was approx 1 min; I haven't heard if Tuesday's
will be any different; I seem to remember 5 minute windows for some of
the Shuttle's rendezvous flights, but I'm not sure what the most
flexible orbital dynamics constraint for SpaceX is.
