I'll attempt to claim at least minimal sanity and common sense.
This project started out in Tcl, which I visualize as a super-BASIC.

Project precis: SeaMonkey can save bookmarks in two formats.
JSON which is lossless but not suitable for human.
HTML which is human friendly, but loses hierarchical information 
[critical for my purposes]
Due to inexperience I got lost in how Tcl handled my JSON data.
Now that I have yabasic reading/writing files I've solved my program 
logic problems. It's losing critical data. I have a strong suspicion 
that when it reads my input file it sees some data as a line terminator.

Now that I know my program logic is valid, I'll likely translate it into 
Tcl for which there is a friendly debugging tool - the code pane of 
tcltutor30b7.

As to:
    > strace -o mytrace2 ls
I did a power off/power on sequence. I got a 9.5kb file with 10 
instances of "ENOENT (No such file or directory)". If anyone is 
interested, I'll send them a copy.

With a good filename, nothing printed.
With a bad filename, it reports file not found.
