overlooked the s7 stack as distinct from the C stack. Pretty  sure at this
point it's a matter of getting my error management house in order. Which I
needed to to anyway; like a lot of stuff there's a (large) element of
seat-of-the-pants, hack it till it seems to work and move on. Actually
understanding How Things Work is sometimes useful, I find. ;)
