Instead of cutting the cable, adjust the brake in question .....

How about the parking brake? A rusty cable can cause that problem. I've

Yup. Everyone who said "parking brake" gets a prize.
The problem must have started a few weeks ago, when I tested the parking
brake and found it didn't hold. It turns out it didn't fully release,
either. I discovered today that the cable to the pedal had a big bow in
it where it had released, but the equalizer bar had stayed put.
Once I figured that out, I crawled underneath and pounded the equalizer
bar with a hammer until it was somewhere close to the released position.
The left rear is still dragging a bit more than I'd like, though, so I
may have to smack it a bit more, or cut the cable.
