Thanks, guys. I'll check out Sheldon Brown's site. Steve, the discussion at that link spans the whole range of opinions, from "no problem!" ro "almost certain disaster."
Meanwhile, I closely examined the tire in question, and there is a small area where it has started to delaminate along the bead. Since it's off the rim, I don't know if that is where the bulge was appearing or not; but for now I think I'll just get another tire. Bob, the next time I get a flat I'll pop on over and check in with you and Chris!
