Google fixed this issue last night. Thanks to the Google engineers who
addressed the problem.  I'm not sure this would have been addressed if
we hadn't had a friend internal to Google who looked into the issue
for us.

I'm still frustrated that the moderators of this board never replied.
I suppose it's difficult to separate real issues (i.e., something's
broken) from spurious complaints (i.e., I can't get my code to work).
