Actually, none of that made any difference.  The problem was that the function was overloaded, and it didn't know which to use without explicit cast.  Giving the function a unique name, it worked as written.  

I did read the instructions, BTW.  It looked like it ought to work exactly the way I did.  And it was only the overloading that threw it off.  What about the original I posted made you think that it needs an explict call to bind?  And it's static, so your rewrite isn't right anyway.
