I did clean rebuilds between systems so it wasn't a stale binary.
I still don't know why my code stopped working when I went to RH 6.0 or,
for that matter, why after going to 1.2.8 and back to RH 6.0 it started
working. But it seems clear that my code is at fault. I'm thinking
that the omission of a, perhaps nested, include file caused the problem.
