Thanks, Emmanuel, that worked just fine. I also tried changing
the setq-default in my init file to plain setq, and everything
worked fine. Now I have to go through my init file and fix any
misused setq-defaults. *sigh* (My goal in using the hook was to
keep the fill-column limited to those modes derived from
text-mode. I.e., I didn't want it to affect fundamental-mode.)
All these years of using Emacs, and I'm still pretty much a tyro
at Elisp. Ah well, I learn. Slowly, maybe, but I learn.
