Have  I discovered a bug in LaTeX??
It seems unlikely, but the following doesn't do as I would expect,
in that the _ characters are NOT protected by the \verb, but the usual
complaints about missing $ are produced.  I have tried \protect on the
\verb with no effect, and am now at a loss.  Why is a \verb not a valid
argument for \makebox ??
