I tried your suggestion.  Lo and behold, all the test cases ran! So I
tried the terse mode again.  All the test cases STILL ran!  So the
problem has vanished without a trace.  Or a good reason.  

Having a problem just disappear like that bothers me almost more than
the original problem.  (It's also a little embarrassing.) =8^(  

Anyway, thanks for your help.
