Thanks Mary for forwarding my request on, and thanks to all those who 
responded!  Your advice was quite helpful.  It turns out the file pointer 
itself was getting clobbered by data written past the end of an array, 
hence the problem.  After stepping (slowly but surely) through the various 
function calls, I narrowed it down and have adjusted the size of the array 
in question.  All is now well.

Thanks again; if nothing else, this excersise taught me quite a bit about 
gdb =)
