I searched the files again, this time using an external program.  There's no
ToDo in any of them.  Rebooting didn't help either. :(  I created a new app
to see where that string is generated and it is in the version file as I
thought.  I guess my next step is to transfer my code over to the test app
and see if that works.  But if it is being caused by the system, which it
appears to be, then that will be a waste of time.
