I am less confident now. This bug is one of the most mysterious I have ever 
encountered!


I have a *candidate* fix that is simpler and better on other grounds. 
Nevertheless, I still have *no idea* why the colorizer failed so 
spectacularly. I have only some conjectures.


I shall merge a new PR later today. That plan seems prudent. An *early 
merge* will cost us nothing:

- The PR is a step forward. The previous code is unacceptable.
- An early merge will allow us all to use (and test!) the fix immediately.

*Summary*

- I shall merge a new PR later today. There is no guarantee that this PR is 
rock solid.
- My investigations continue. A new ENB will discuss my conjectures and 
plans.
- The fix necessitates a revision to the Theory of Operation!
