Thanks, Win: I can't tell what went wrong, but everything went back to
normal after a restart.   I don't know if you saw my follow-up post, but it
turned out all kinds of things were behaving strangely.  I'm left wondering
whether it was due to a faulty interaction between me, git, and the
emacsclient since I've never seen something like this before, but I'll be
sure to check both of those mode next time, just to make sure.

Thanks again,
David
