Aha!  Billy G strikes again :-)

Right.  So maybe I should change compilers (once again) and move to MinGW.
This time, I'll RTFM before I install (and see whether it'll co-exist with
my Cygwin install, or just blow away cygwin & replace).

It'll also relieve me of the "assert" problems when VC++ debug libraries
encounter a file with no creation date (shipped in from my Ma cor one of my
FreeBSD boxen).

Thanks for all the help.
