Ack! That was it. I don't understand why it didn't print my debug
message at the start of the function. I used "fprintf(stderr, ..."
at the start of the function to make sure that it wasn't gobbled
up by buffering or something. When I didn't see my message I just
assumed that it had to come from the engine.
Thanks. I was able to dig out what changes I needed for the operator
stuff from the docs (I needed scalar??sel instead of int??sel) and
now everything I had before plus the chkpass stuff works. I'll
send the corrected chkpass stuff for contrib and work on that phone
number item I mentioned in another message.
