It's a project of mine, actually. (I wouldn't be surprised if there's an
obvious error I've made, although I checked pretty thoroughly.)

You can get a copy at: ftp://arete.no-ip.org/newts/prerelease/

Use the prerelease version; the latest release in /newts/ had a couple of usage
problems with gettext which showed up on Darwin, and you don't need to see
those in order to look at this behavior.

Thanks for your help, Peter.
