Thanks for your responses.  See my further puzzlements, below.

Thanks for this unexpected point.  One of the oddities of the situation is
that sometimes the error message, instead of StatusAccessViolation, takes
the form of  LinkItem does not recognize getX***.  Could something have
been corrupted?

Sorry.  I didn't express myself clearly.  Rather:  could the inconsistency
in how far a run goes, despite my not using varyseed, be that the RN series
is carrying over from one run to another? 

By the way, I have just replicated the inconsistency, with several runs
that vary as before.  A run typically stops at Point A.  If not there, then
at another typical point, Point B.  If not Point B, then all bets are off
on where it will stop -- though it will, somewhere.  Are some of the RN
methods unsatisfactory in this regard?  Or are there some contexts in which
the compiler is unstable about whether it "chooses" to raise a violation?
