Since I started this chain, I may as well finish it.
After getting a friend to post this to BIX, I received the
suggestion, "increase stack space."  AHA!  I keep forgetting to
think about stack space when Bad Things happen.  I raised it to
20000 from 10000 and the problems went away.  I don't even want to
think of the hours I spent rebooting and rebooting and rebooting
[thank God for bootable RAD:, except when the guru took me to KS].

So, if you've been having trouble with CPR 1.02, try increasing the
stack.  If you still have problems, please tell me, so I don't beat my
brains out again when I run across them.

Thanks!
