Robert: Good eyes, but the error is in MY description. The machine is a 64-bit machine. I was misled by some other issues I had with a near-by 32-bit machine. So, I'm back to trying to figure this out, and trying to understand why it happened on one of my 64-bit systems and not others, where I've configured them pretty much the same.
