I should have checked that myself, rather than assuming that the absence of its output meant that it was not being executed. Thanks for investigating. I'm still left with the problem of figuring out what changed to cause this result. Until I ran the "setup" application last Friday, I was seeing output from static destructors, and now I don't. It would save me a lot of work to be able to restore the old behavior, but I don't know what was responsible for this change. -- William M.
