I saw no replies to the query above.

It's not a huge problem, since it's easy enough just to ignore the error and
run the program a second time, which (so far) always succeeds.

Still, if anyone has any suggestions as to how to discover what is going on,
I'd appreciate it. I'm not a great fan of mysterious happenings on my computers.
