Rats.  Spoke to soon.  The lockup just happened again.  It seems to
be an intermittent problem (my favorite).  The cursor got stuck after
working correctly for a while.  Then, after mouse-clicking for a bit,
the mouse got unstuck!  Now I will try your suggestion, Kevin,
and let you know whether it helps.
