You're absolutely right -- the destructor is being called.  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.
