Thanks to Mike McCauley and Bernd Strehhuber for the replies. I've got
it figured out. Actually, Bernd gave me the necessary clue.
My configuration had never before used Handlers, only a default Realm.
Adding the call-check stuff to the end of the configuration file was
essentially pointless because the default Realm appeared earlier.
Converting to using two Handlers, one for call-check first and one for
everything else second, has cleared up the problem nicely.
I guess I had basically ignored the Handler stuff in the manual,
figuring I'd get back to it someday after I had things working. Well,
now was the time.
