My apologies. At the bottom of the function, it calls through the function
pointer
RmgrTable[rmid].rm_desc(buf, record);
which is set up to call various *_desc functions. I must have chased through
those function pointers incorrectly, as I can't find the problem now that I am
reviewing all those functions.
Sorry for the noise,
Mark Dilger
