Thanks Tom (and sorry),

It occurred to me 10 seconds after e-mailing that the
problem was probably with my file command.  I had version
3.x.  I have replaced it with the current version and (of
course), the problem has gone away.  Still, I guess that
the program is more robust for your new test.

Regards,

Geoff
