After 2 or 3 calendar days (about 4-6 hours real work) I discovered
that an @shadow unit test was deleting leo\test\unittest\.leo_shadow,
with predictably tragic results for any @shadow files used in the unit
tests.  Sheesh.

Moreover, the "real" fix, that is the change to
fc.getLeoOutlineFromClipboard, had further bugs, not caught be the new
unit test that demonstrated that the new code fixed the original
problem.  In other words, a quick and dirty unit test for a
significant fix was not nearly good enough. A more systematic approach
is needed for methods like fc.getLeoOutlineFromClipboard.  So it may
take a day more to wrap up this particular bug.
