Okay, switching it to a stack was trivial, and saves a lot of space
(since the space for the 'queue' doesn't grow every time something is
added, only when there's not enough room to add more).

I'd appreciate it if people could test on their systems.

I didn't do as massive of an overhaul in there as I had feared I'd
have to.  (I was getting quite cranky over it the last couple nights;
apologies to my family ;-) )  However, if folks feel like building
new betas, feel free to send them my way and I'll post them.

Thanks for everyone's patience with me while I hack on this poor
code in every way I can imagine. ;-D
