My apologies.  I made most of these changes a couple months ago.  test_re
has been failing with the stack limit problem all this time.  I thought it
was related to the usual Mac OS X stack limit problem.  Thanks to Guido and
Gary also for elucidating and fixing the problem while I was at my son's
hockey game.  (I know, I'll get my priorities straight one of these days...)
