Last night it just up and decided to work.  Sometime in the past  
couple days I went from 2.8 bleeding back to 2.7.1, so that may have  
been part of it (if so, you may have a bug in 2.8).  It may also have  
been something glitched in my particular install.

So... thanks for the assist, and please do keep me updated as to the  
"transient" stuff.
