Sorry, I neglected to indicate that I re-compiled the source with a wee bit of debugging code to display what was causing the error. ferror() returned an error which, by using perror(), indicated that the handle was invalid. I checked the archives, and didn't find any messages from Victor, nor any on cvs or diff.
