OK, thanks! I am hoping to complete and deliver a major project this
month, so I don't want to risk a major update to my Texlive system at
this point; but I hope to test it next month.

Thanks for the tip. However, the previously attached code is just a
test bench --- that is, it demonstrates the problem and allows me to
test a proposed solution to see if it can resolve the problem. The
example happens to use the Latin alphabet as a kind of enumeration of
the instances that cause the writes.

Thank you again,
Dan
