Dylan,

Thanks for showing me how to check the calculations.  I get identical
results using my copies of cs2cs and postgis, on both systems.
I conclude from this that the effect of adding @null to the definition
of NAD27 in pj_datums.c is that it somehow eliminates the error message
but doesn't render the results incorrect.  I don't pretend to understand
why this is so, but I'm happy to proceed with this configuration.

Thanks again for your help!

Peter
