I thought I had tested that way back at the beginning without seeing the 
problem, but I must not have, because I just retested it to be sure and 
it died the same way. (Now I am truly confused and I need to go back and 
re-examine some of my earlier experiments.)
In the meantime, any ideas where to look?

I am doing this on behalf of someone else, so I'd have to ask them to do 
the setup if they have the time. I am reluctant to do so at this point.
