Bob Knighten (knighten@pinocchio.encore.com) at Encore was kind enough to email an explanation of how this behavior is *supposed* to be a design "feature," not a bug. (Thanks, Bob!) Keith (I'm not going embarass myself by trying to spell his last name) from TeleSoft's Customer Service promptly called and explained that I am running an old version of their compiler (purchased through Ready Systems). Newer vintages of the compiler Do The Right Thing. He told me which version to request from Ready Systems. (Thanks, Keith!)
