+             taken into account.  Some other problems with Tie::SubstrHash
+             fixed: didn't croak when the table exceeded the requested number
+             of entries (as documented) but instead when the number of entries
+             exceeded the size of the table, a croak() had an unnecessary \n,
+             didn't have a CLEAR method, documented that there is no exists().
+             Didn't fix to be strict-proof because the module uses &foo; and
+             dynamic scope.  Added a test script exercizing both first tamely 
+             the basic functionality, and then the failure cases reported by
+             Linc Madison.
