Bad form, I know, to follow up one's own posting, however, a small clarification
is in order.  One email correspondent thought I meant I was calling winopen()
with no arguments and that was what was causing my problem.  That isn't the
case, I'm calling winopen() in the form of

	winopen( "foo" );

as advertised in the man page.  This is the form that breaks. :-(
