As I began to suspect around that time, but couldn't check until now,
that's what was going wrong: my wrapper script for starting the server
was starting the wrong one, because it added a $PWD-relative entry to PATH,
and I had cd'd when looking for the test code last night, and then hadn't
noticed a different server version was being started.

(I feel a little better ... I'm not insane ... just inattentive at times.)
Sorry for the false alarm.
