I just answered my own question.  It seems that the problem started occurring
when I was temporarily short a Meg of RAM.  I didn't notice the coincidence
at the time, but when I got the RAM back the problem went away.

A little examination showed that, with the small RAM (1 MB) I only had about
150K for the application.  Ordinarily that's enough, since it is very small.
Does LSC use a default partition size?  And why doesn't it say anything when
it thinks there isn't enough memory?
