Byron Han and Tom Dowdy were nice enough to waste their time with me.
I've learned a few things, and solved my problem.

Thing One-The Communications Toolbox acts differently on machines with only
1MB of RAM; it waits to install patches and the like until it's actually used.

Thing Two-If you call CMChoose without the proper initialization, 1MB
macs will crash, whereas larger macs seem to survive (refer to Thing One).

Thing Three-Know ALL the paths your code can take to get somewhere, not
just ONE of them.  (I guess I get the golden dunce cap for this one;
I wasn't doing the initialization I thought I was, at least in one case.)

Maybe this will help some other stupid person.
