     Okay, these are all fixed, and I'll put out another alpha release
with the fixes in a moment.  Ironically, the +hq bug, which I thought
would be tricky to track down, turned out to be a simple one-line fix,
while the dbaccess levels addition, which seemed pretty simple at first
glance, took a bit of reorganizing things.  Just goes to show something
or other, I guess...
