Thanks, Ed and Mary, for some definite suggestions.  Basically, this seems like 
a new problem.  Sure, I had those occasional nominal trims that were 
half-baked,  and usually solved with a better tie-out, but this is a well-done 
royal pain.  Actually, I rebuilt the hard drive with this CPU after adding some 
memory (again, for the fun of it) so I don't have the v7 on there, but I might 
just try and reinstall everything so both are on there.  And I might replace 
some of the gummis with the old red roller for grins, too.  Oh, BTW, all new 
needles, checked the timing and found two of the set screws were loose, so I 
re-set timing and locked 'em down good and tight.  I was running some denim 
scraps and two sheets of backing, auto-thread seemed to be running fine, no 
excesses of thread rolling off the spools, new spool of bobbin, clean bobbin 
case, just the right wag so to speak.

So, talked with Chris at Melco today, and he gave me some other points to 
inspect.  Needle alignment, for one, and a tip to stop the machine just as it 
is ready to trim that will then cycle slowly and see just what the selector is 
doing before the knife is supposed to cut the thread.  It makes sense that the 
selector may not be pulling the threads back and into the path of the knife, 
for this to happen on all needles and all types of thread on all types of 
stitches.

Case not closed, but still under investigation, autopsy to follow, news at 6, 
film at 11, yada yada.
