Thanks, Earle, you were right.  I was using "QuickFolder".  Removing it
made the suspicious code run correctly in its original, un-work-arounded
form.

I take back all those nasty thoughts I was beginning to have about MPW C.
(Who knows, perhaps I will have need of them in the future ..)

Sheesh -- with bugs like this around, why are people worrying about viruses?
