Thanks!  It built fine after that, so I started writing some code to test
it, and I think I may have uncovered an error in GS.  Upon executing
gs:read(Canvas, {hit, {X,Y}}) where X and Y are over an image object, I
get:

gs error: user backend died reason
{{badmatch,[]},[{gstk_db,lookup_item,3},{gstk_canvas,fix_ids,4},
{gstk_generic,read_option,5},{gstk,read_impl,3},{gstk,doit,2},
{gstk,loop,1}]}

=ERROR REPORT==== 30-Sep-2001::03:56:58 ===
Error in process <0.26.0> with exit value:
