Eric, your apology is accepted unreservedly.  Neither was my post a model
of courtesy, which I hope also can be forgiven.

We all make mistakes on small points of detail; when I've done as much as
Dennis Ritchie my memory will no doubt have dropped even more bits than
it presently misses.  So when I goof, please don't be afraid to post a
correction.

Let's all take a deep breath and get back to the technical stuff.
