Sorry to keep harping on this.  I am figuring things out.

When I attempted to set the 'div' option, I got a crash.  On
examination, it was because I had originally done a
OverviewMap.maximizeControl(), immediately after adding the control to
the map.  If outside the viewport, we don't have minimizeDiv or
maximizeDiv.  My fault.

I think I've pretty much got everything working, now.

Thanks for your help.
