Thanks for the information, Reinhard, that could be useful.

I'd be interested in any other fixes within TL-2010 as well,
if anyone has one, because this is a *big* problem for me.

My quick fix (at least for tonight)  is to wrap every segment
with an \includegraphics in a group and put a \input graphicx
at the beginning of that group (instead of the beginning
of the file).  So far this is working but it's clearly less than ideal.

Thanks again.
