Sorry, I neglected to indicate that I re-compiled the source with a wee bit
of debugging code to display what was causing the error.  ferror() returned
an error which, by using perror(), indicated that the handle was invalid.

I checked the archives, and didn't find any messages from Victor, nor any
on cvs
or diff.
 
Cheers!
