Thanks for the reassurance, Parker.  I was not worried about my own code,
which has not changed in months and I gave it a good examination with
valgrind back then ... :-)  However, I was worried about the libraries (they
being now so close to a release) or maybe a build problem on my part.  The
build was very much a two steps forward one step backward process for me.

Thanks again, Ian W
