Turns out it was platform-specific. Ran fine on IRIX but I got the bug
reproduced on Cygwin.
And it was my fault as well---while experimenting with using fixed length
strings and variable ones I must have left in some calls to free() that
shouldn't have been there and must have been corrupting the memory. Fixed
in CVS so hopefully should be better now. It is really good to be getting
all these bugs ironed out.
