Dick, all that this does is to demonstrate the program mechanism that
causes the problem -- improper setting of a transient variable -- and a
partial work-around.  But I know that in my case, it was NOT due to bad
typing.  Something else was causing the problem.  Fortunately, it did not
happen to me during a high-rate run, when it would have been very
disruptive, but it could have.  

TR is very good about not allowing bad data in the log under most
circumstances.  How hard can it be to trap this particular error?
