Hmm, interesting.  The filename ("./foo.py") is a key in linecache.cache.
The value of that key (i.e., the file text) appears to be correct.  That
gave me the idea of invoking from the command line using `pwd`/foo.py
instead of ./foo.py.  Bingo!  Now it works.

It is still unclear what the difference is.  I'm invoking from the current
directory, so using the dot notation should be the same thing.

Note that I do edit the script from Windows, using a mapped network drive
and PyCharm.  However, I cannot see how that makes any difference.  I run
the script from Linux.

The files actually live on the Linux server.  Well, that is not entirely
true, now that I think about it.  The Linux server uses NIS and automounts
my home directory, which is located on a NetApp network storage device.
