Bob--thank you for taking the time to test this.  I could swear that
this wasn't always the case, but I'll be the first to admit my
memory isn't the best.  I guess it can't be chalked up to a platform
issue.  Doesn't the changing date-time stamp mean that the index
file was opened for write access?  Or maybe my understanding here
is incorrect?
