Thanks again, Bob.

Regarding that undefined behavior, what I'm seeing is that candle
warnings about component id length are becoming errors reported by light
as duplicate component ids.  They are duplicate components because in
the wixobj file the id fields are empty.  At least that is my current
hunch based on the clues.

Thanks again for the insights!

Raj

Undefined behavior.

Then truncate as 72 and you'll get duplicate ID errors rather than 
something that might or might not work.
