You may be correct... however, the only way I was able to fix the
problem was with an ugly hack:

	re._cache.clear()

Ugly because it's undocumented, and that means I should keep my grubby
little paws away from it. Ugly or not, once I put this line in,
everything has gone peachy.

I did follow your advice, though, and it cleaned up a few minor bugs in
the program.  Thanks for the reminder!

Later,
