Actually, as it turns out, I was continuing it over one 
line too many, and the compiler was somehow screwing it 
up. One continuation line fewer, and it worked fine. I 
simply broke it up into two separate constants. Is there a 
documented limit to the length of a symbolic string 
constant? I couldn't find one!
