I had not fully realized what a
cash bind you can get into when attampting to unwind a cc.

As I said, selling covered calls requires no tieing up of capital. I didn't say anything about trying to buy them back! However, it sounds like that was more a function of your precarious position due to margin problems than it had to do with selling the calls (which gave you more cash toward your margin position).
