The Answer to my previous querry is:  The entire image, and not just a
subroutine, must be installed with the desired priveleges.  Apparently
this is for security purposes - prevents users from linking to subs
with known privs and the interrupting the program while maintaining the
privileges.  I suppose I can live with this.

I wish it had been more clearly stated in the linker manual. Sigh. . .
