None.  gh_enter is returning when an error gets thrown.
(See the followup message to the one you replied to.)
My original code ended with:

   /* NOTREACHED */
   return 0;

Now, it ends with:

   /* sometimes reached */
   abort();
   return 0; // silence picky compilers

It seems to be a general problem.  I've now seen messages from at least
two people complaining about the lack of file/line information.

Thank you, Neil.   Regards, Bruce
