Thanks Randy, Bernd sent me a couple of stacks offline and I have things working.
What is worrisome though is why the simple code I included in the original post didn't work, particularly the fact that grabbing the bottom handle and dragging it down actually made things wider instead of taller. I think I will put a simple stack together that illustrates the problem and submit a bug report.
