Dear Mr. Gaunt (et al.):

Ok, here it is (it had to wait until I could send it from home, because
I have no email reader at work, just some cranky web-mail interfaces.

You may recognize the filename, Mr. Gaunt.

Also, the kludge I had mentioned previously (i.e., doing a read and an

seems to work as far as it goes at this point, but it's cumbersome, and
looks rather like a problem waiting to happen.
