>>> Alas, moving all the files into the same folder, so they all opened and made use of the same version of the "Universal" file, did not solve the problem. But thanks for the idea.
Check your other files for similarity. The names do not have to be identical, just the same in the first several characters. (I forget exactly how many.)
There is a more detailed discussion of this problem in the White Paper (see below).
This is a good thing to be on the lookout for, even if it doesn't explain your current problem.
