Well, that's a relief but I learned about it from a random email from someone
whose name I can't read (because I don't know the language). So, I'm still
considering posting this thread as a poor decision. Despite the innocent
result, I did not make the best choice based on what I knew at the time.

But it is all very interesting. I played with the code a little bit, but 
without actually reading the gs source to find the relevant code being
prodded. But it is curious that the error has to trip twice before the 
payload is left on the stack.
